Power Design Engineer

Role: Power Design Engineer
Location: Sunnyvale, CA or Austin TX
RTL Design & Verification, Power profiling tools such as PPRTL or PTPX, and Low Power Design.
Python, Scripting, TCL

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Contract Worker for RTL Design and Verification with expertise in power profiling and automation. The ideal candidate will play a crucial role in the analysis of power consumption, identifying hardware events that correlate with power consumption. Candidates will build run-time power models using Machine Learning techniques.

Key Responsibilities:
RTL Design and Verification: Run power tests on RTL designs and verify that the test behavior matches the intent.
Power Profiling: Utilize tools such as PPRTL or PTPX to perform comprehensive power profiling of hardware designs, identifying power-intensive areas and opportunities for optimization. Correlate various hardware events/telemetry with power profiles to understand power consumption.
Data Processing and Automation: Develop and implement basic Python and/or TCL scripts for automation, data extraction, and processing of large volumes of hardware design data.
Analysis and Reporting: Analyze profiling data, generate reports, and present findings to the design team, offering insights and recommendations for power reduction.
Collaboration: Work closely with architects and designers to understand the power profile of the IP block and build a runtime power model using ML techniques.

Required Qualifications:
Strong background in RTL design and verification principles.
Demonstrable experience with power profiling tools such as PPRTL or PTPX.
Proficiency in scripting languages like Python and/or TCL for automation and data manipulation.
Ability to process and analyze large datasets related to hardware design.
