  • Develop testbench capabilities to fast track and automate emulation waveform captures.

  • Use internally developed tools and industry standard pre-silicon Gate-level and RTL power analysis tools, to help report power.

  • Perform comparative power analysis, to spot trends and anomalies, that warrant more scrutiny.

  • Interact with Architects and RTL designers to help them interpret their power data and identify power bugs; drive them to implement fixes.

  • Select and run a wide variety of workloads for power analysis.

  • Strong coding/automation skills, preferably in Python, and/or C++.

  • Background in emulation with intent to perform hand on debug on daily basis.

  • Good understanding of concepts of energy consumption, estimation, data movement and low power design.

  • Familiarity with Verilog and ASIC design principles, including knowledge of Power Artist, PTPX (Prime Power RTL, RTL Architect).

  • Good verbal/written English and interpersonal skills; much collaboration with design teams is expected.

  • Desire to bring data-driven decision-making and analytics to improve our products.
