Job Details
Rivos Power team is seeking highly motivated candidates to develop and strategically drive state-of- the-art CPU power design, modeling, and optimization. The ideal candidate should have in-depth experience and skills for full spectrum silicon power reduction based on solid power analysis, benchmarking and design optimization on all levels including arch, uArch, implementation and binning on CPU blocks, and standard power-performance benchmarking.
You will have the opportunity to work with architecture, uArch design, design verification, circuit and physical design, and silicon validation teams to drive towards a power-efficient design. Rivos Power Design team is seeking highly motivated candidates to perform power design for the new high performance power efficient SOC designs. The role will be at the center of a state-of-the-art power design effort, interfacing with all disciplines and have a critical impact on getting products to market quickly.
- Drive the task of power design for CPU blocks across different teams including Arch, uArch, implementation, performance, DV and testing teams.
- Model and own uses-cases and workloads for custom silicon working closely with the CPU architecture, Performance and IP teams to determine the overall power requirements.
- Analyze and deploy trade offs between CPU power and performance and drive detailed cost/benefit analysis and making recommendations for power reduction.
- Create test vectors with the performance, design verification and RTL teams to model the appropriate work loads, and the correct functionality scenarios for simulation
- Own power simulations, analysis, tuning, correlation, and rollup to the architecture, logic design, and physical design teams.
- Collaborate with the CAD and Physical design implementation teams on power estimation, simulation flow, and regression analysis
- Interact with software and system level teams to influence SoC and product level power
- 8 to 15 years experience in CPU power design including design analysis, benchmarking, modeling and simulation..
- Experience and working knowledge of CPU architectures and workload modeling for power. RISC-V architecture familiarity and experience is a plus.
- Familiarity with Verilog and SystemVerilog RTL coding
- Experience in silicon design flow and evaluating PPA tradeoffs at architecture, logic and circuit design levels
- Knowledge of device physics, advanced process technology and circuit design fundamentals is a plus
- Experience in state-of-the art EDA tools for gate and transistor level power modeling and simulations.
- Python, TCL and other scripting languages
- Aptitude to problem-solve on the fly, innovate, drive decisions and bring the team along to deliver under aggressive schedules
- EE/ EECS degree with 8-15 years of industry experience
$200,000 - $230,000 a year
