Job Summary
Job Description
This Senior System Power and Performance Architect role at Google involves developing custom silicon solutions for direct-to-consumer products. Responsibilities include architecting low-power solutions for Google Tensor mobile SoCs, optimizing Power-Performance-Area (PPA) under battery life and thermal constraints, focusing on camera and GenAI use cases. The role requires creating workload models, defining power/performance KPIs, guiding cross-functional teams, and performing post-silicon characterization. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in SoC performance/power analysis, modeling, and optimization, as well as software power optimization (Android, Linux). Experience with camera and GenAI workloads, IP-level and SoC-level KPIs, and post-silicon power productization is highly preferred.
Must have:
- 5+ years SoC performance/power analysis
- SoC architecture & KPIs experience
- Software power optimization (Android/Linux)
- Python or C++ proficiency
- Architect low power solutions
Good to have:
- Master's/PhD in Electronics/Computer Engineering
- Camera & GenAI workload experience
- Post-silicon power productization
- Understanding of software/architectural design impact
4 skills required
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 in SoC performance or power analysis, modeling and optimizations.
- Experience with SoC architectures and performance and power KPIs.
- Experience in software power optimizations (e.g., Android, Linux).
- Experience with Python or C++.
Preferred qualifications:
- Master's or PhD degree in Electronics or Computer Engineering/Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture, performance and power analysis.
- Experience with Camera and GenAI workloads and dataflows.
- Experience with use case datapaths, IP-level and SoC-level performance KPIs, and power management concepts.
- Experience with post-silicon power productization work.
- Knowledge of the impact of software and architectural design decisions on system performance, power and thermal behavior.
