Job Summary

Job Description

This Senior SoC Power Architect role at Google involves designing and implementing low-power solutions for Google's System on a Chips (SoCs), focusing on optimizing Power-Performance-Area (PPA) under thermal constraints, particularly within the CPU subsystem. Responsibilities include defining power KPIs and targets, guiding architecture and design to meet these targets, creating power models, and performing power roll-ups throughout the design cycle. The role also requires proposing and driving hardware and software power optimizations from concept to mass production, conducting power-performance trade-off analyses, and performing post-silicon characterization and productization of power features. Experience with ASIC low power flows, power management concepts, CPU power in mobile SoCs, and power modeling/estimation is crucial.
Must have:
  • 5+ years SoC power management experience
  • Experience with ASIC low power flows
  • Define power targets and optimize PPA
  • Power modeling and post-silicon characterization
  • Computer architecture knowledge (microarchitecture, cache, pipelining)
Good to have:
  • Master's/PhD in Electronics/Computer Engineering
  • Experience with CPU power in mobile SoCs
  • ASIC power modeling/estimation
  • Software/architectural design impacting power/thermal behavior
  • Experience with ASIC design flows (concept to post-silicon)

Job Details


Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5 years of experience with computer architecture concepts, including microarchitecture, cache hierarchy, pipelining, and memory subsystems.
  • 5 years of experience in SoC power management or low power design/methodology.
  • Experience with Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) low power flows and power management concepts.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Master's Degree or PhD in Electronics or Computer Engineering/Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture, performance and power analysis.
  • 8 years of experience in SoC power management or low power design/methodology.
  • Experience in CPU power in mobile SoCs from CPU architecture and design to schedulers, governors and post-silicon tuning for power and performance.
  • Experience with ASIC power modeling/estimation, defining power targets, power roll-ups, power/voltage domains design and low power architectures/optimization techniques.
  • Experience with software and architectural design decisions on system power and thermal behavior.
  • Experience with ASIC design flows from concept to post-silicon.
