SoC Architect - Low Power Design (HBM)

Responsibilities

• Define and own SoC-level low-power architecture, including power domains, voltage islands, and clocking strategies
• Develop power, performance, and thermal models to evaluate architectural tradeoffs and guide PPA optimization
• Architect and drive implementation of power management features such as DVFS, clock gating, and power gating
• Collaborate with RTL, verification, and physical design teams to ensure correct implementation of power intent (UPF/CPF)
• Partner with firmware and software teams to define hardware-software power management interfaces and control flows
• Support pre-silicon validation and post-silicon bring-up, including silicon power characterization and root-cause analysis
• Mentor junior architects and engineers, promoting best practices in low-power design

Requirements

• Strong experience in SoC or system-level architecture with a focus on low-power or energy-efficient design
• Deep understanding of power management techniques including DVFS, power gating, and clock gating
• Experience with power modeling, analysis, and trade-off studies at system and block level
• Working knowledge of RTL design concepts and low-power implementation flows (SystemVerilog, UPF/CPF)
• Experience across the RTL-to-GDS flow, including synthesis and STA
• Proficiency in programming or scripting languages such as Python, C/C++, or TCL

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with HBM, DRAM, or memory-centric SoCs
• Background in GPU, CPU, or high-performance accelerator architectures
• Familiarity with industry power standards and frameworks (e.g., ARM power management)
• Exposure to silicon power measurement, lab characterization, or post-silicon debug
• Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field

Benefits

• Choice of medical, dental, and vision plans
• Income protection programs and paid family leave
• Robust paid time-off program and paid holidays
