Job Title : Power Architecture Engineer
Job Type : Full-time
Job Description :
Roles & Responsibilities :
- Be the candidate that owns end-to-end power aspects such as - ASIC power analysis, power architecture, low power design, power-aware verification, advanced power methodologies, UPF methodologies, power feature bring-up on silicon, and post-Si power.
- Contributing to power analysis by helping to architect, develop, verify & correlate power estimation models / tools
- Be part of the team that architects & designs system-level power features for optimizing the dynamic and leakage power dissipation for different usecases.
- Work on power verification which includes structural, functional & power aware verification of power features by coming up with test plans, write testcases, build test bench components like Monitors, assertions and coverage points & own verification convergence across RTL, Gates and Silicon.
- Validate the effectiveness of the power features on silicon, conduct studies and contribute to the Performance / Watt improvement ideas.
- Help build power management solutions and drive innovation in energy efficiency across NVIDIA’s product portfolio.
