General Summary:As a Data Center AI Pre and Post Silicon Power Lead, you will work to define and validate the power consumption targets of product under planning from IP, SoC, card to rack scale. You will help set up methodologies, develop validation and benchmarking plans, recommend tuning optimizations, and ensure that the silicon/system under development meets the highest power efficiency. You will also participate in architecture and product definition feedback for the next generation of AI accelerators by closing the loop with real silicon analysis.
Minimum Qualifications:• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 10+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
OR
Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 9+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 8+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
Roles and Responsibilities- Characterize Data Center workloads on system to provide inputs into pre-Si modeling and projection
- Define end-to-end power analysis plans for complex Datacenter AI systems
- Debug issues found during pre-silicon, bring-up, validation, and production phases of SOC programs
- Define an optimization strategy that delivers world class datacenter AI efficiency
- Lead collaborative test approach with multiple teams, and tracking test execution to make sure all features are performant and power optimized on time
- Work closely with supporting teams in design, architecture, emulation, firmware, design verification and software to ensure readiness for first silicon arrival, evaluation of AI and system performance upon silicon arrival, and evaluation of critical AI workloads
- Develop deep knowledge of AI infrastructure architecture, SoC system architecture, system benchmarking techniques, and power reduction and optimization methods
- Drive technical innovation to enhance capabilities in system power validation including tools and script development, technical and procedural methodology enhancement, and various internal and cross-functional technical initiatives
