Job Summary

Job Description

This role involves architecting and driving low-power solutions for Google Tensor mobile SoCs, optimizing Power-Performance-Area (PPA) under battery life and thermal constraints. Responsibilities include creating use case workload and datapath models for power, performance, thermal, and days-of-use evaluation. You will define power/performance KPIs, set SoC/IP-level goals, guide cross-functional teams, perform use case level power roll-ups, and track KPIs throughout the design cycle. Further responsibilities include driving power-performance trade-off analysis, post-silicon power and performance characterization, and guiding teams to achieve power/thermal goals in production. The ideal candidate will have experience in SoC architectures, performance and power KPIs, software power optimizations (Android, Linux), and proficiency in Python or C++. Experience with Camera and Generative AI workloads is a plus.
Must have:
  • Bachelor's degree in related field
  • 3+ years SoC architecture and performance experience
  • Software power optimization experience (Android/Linux)
  • Proficiency in Python or C++
  • Architect low power solutions
  • Define and track power/performance KPIs
Good to have:
  • Master's or PhD in related field
  • Camera and Generative AI workload experience
  • Experience with post-silicon power productization
  • Knowledge of software/architectural design impact on system performance

Job Details


Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3 years of experience in 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 degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • Experience with Camera and Generative AI workloads and data flows.
  • Experience with use case datapaths, IP-level and SoC-level performance KPIs, and power management concepts.
  • Experience with post-si power productization work.
  • Knowledge of the impact of software and architectural design decisions on system performance, power, and thermal behavior.
