Senior Technical Staff Engineer - Architecture (System Power)

Responsibilities

• Lead cross-functional teams to architect high-performance, low-power FPGA products that meet market and customer requirements.
• Develop pre-silicon power models and PDN models at the system, package, and chip levels to explore PPA trade-offs.
• Collaborate with back-end implementation teams to define UPF/CPF specifications.
• Partner with CAD/EDA teams to integrate power analysis tools into the design flow.
• Work with firmware and software teams to define power management drivers and runtime policies.
• Create product power architecture specifications to meet aggressive power efficiency goals.

Requirements

• 10+ years of industrial experience in semiconductor architecture or design.
• Strong understanding of CMOS power consumption (dynamic, static/leakage, short-circuit) and advanced process nodes like FinFET or GAA.
• Expertise in low-power design techniques such as power gating, clock gating, retention, multi-voltage design, and DVFS.
• Hands-on experience with UPF/CPF and EDA power analysis tools.
• Ability to analyze workloads and build power models at various abstraction levels (system, microarchitecture, RTL).
• BS degree or higher in Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering (CE), or a related discipline.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in technical leadership and people management.
• Deep knowledge of state-of-the-art FPGA power features.

Benefits

• Competitive base pay, restricted stock units (RSUs), and quarterly bonus payments.
• Comprehensive health benefits starting on day one.
• Retirement savings plans and an industry-leading ESPP program with a 2-year look-back feature.
