Senior Engineer, RTL Power Estimation Methodology

Job Description

As part of the methodology team, you will play a crucial role in developing, enhancing, and deploying RTL-level power estimation and analysis methodologies across a range of SoC and IP design projects. This position requires close collaboration with design, verification, and physical implementation teams to ensure early power estimation accuracy, scalable methodology integration, and automation for power-aware design. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in RTL power estimation, scripting for tool automation, and a deep understanding of power intent specifications and constraints.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain RTL power estimation methodologies using industry-standard tools (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence, Ansys).
• Work with design teams to define power analysis strategy, monitor early power trends, and deliver actionable feedback.
• Automate power estimation and reporting flows integrated into regression infrastructure.
• Validate and correlate RTL power estimates with gate-level and post-layout results.
• Support power-aware verification and ensure alignment with UPF / CPF-based power intent.
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams (design, verification, PD, DFT) to drive power closure.
• Develop documentation, training materials, and standard methodologies to enable global adoption.
