Responsibilities

  • Drive pre-silicon power estimation and analysis using power estimation tools both at Register-Transfer Level (RTL) and Netlist level.
  • Develop methodologies around power estimation tools and incorporate best practices to improve the power estimation.
  • Drive power estimation and what-if analysis for IPs and subsystems and drive closure of projections vs goal gaps.
  • Analyze power estimation reports to identify power-saving opportunities and influence both the physical design aspect and the u-arch design aspects of the design for power reduction.
  • Collaborate with the Arch Design team to define the right definition of scenarios and operating conditions to estimate the use-case power for the IP which reflects the real world usage of the IP.
