Job Description:

The Role:

A successful candidate will leverage their experience to develop and deploy methodology and infrastructure to measure and analyze SiFive IP power consumption.  The candidate will also use this knowledge to guide the architecture, design and PD teams to build energy efficient IPs with the following responsibilities and requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and deploy power analysis flows, models to collect and analyze power consumption

• Correlate power models with RTL and Silicon

• Develop power models for architecture exploration and development

• Develop innovative methods to predict power of design changes

Requirements:

• MS or PhD in Computer Science / Computer Architecture

• 5+ years of experience in power benchmarking, analysis and modeling

• Experience with power impacts at architecture, logic design, and circuit levels.   

• Good knowledge of computer architecture of high performance out-of-order CPU designs.  

• Working experience in guiding trade-off between performance and power to arrive at optimal design.

• Experience with ASIC power analysis and optimization.

• Hands-on expertise with either HW development (RTL/implementation flows, verification/validation, backend flows, FPGA flows) or SW development is a strong plus. 

• Competency in software engineering best practices needed to maintain and refactor very large object oriented code bases.  

• Self-starter, fast learner, strong problem-solving skills
