SoC Power Architect
Hybrid (Tel Aviv; Haifa)Posted 1w ago
About the role
Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You will define the energy efficiency of the infrastructure that powers Google services worldwide, owning the power architecture for next-generation SoCs and making trade-offs between performance, thermal constraints, and power delivery.
Responsibilities
- Define and own the SoC power architecture, including complex power domains, clocking structures, and power delivery network (PDN) solutions to achieve optimal performance-per-watt.
- Architect sophisticated power management policies, including DVFS, power gating, and state strategies. Define the hardware/software interface for the Power management unit (PMU) and provide power management specifications.
- Lead collaboration across architecture, RTL, physical design, packaging and validation teams to establish power budgets and specifications. Ensure power requirements are met from concept to tape-out.
- Develop high-fidelity power and performance models to evaluate architectural features early in the design cycle. Drive pre-silicon power estimation and analysis to guide design decisions.
- Lead post-silicon power analysis, correlating lab measurements with pre-silicon models to close the loop and improve future methodologies.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- 10 years of experience in ASIC/SoC architecture or design with a focus on power optimizations.
- Experience developing or using power and performance modeling tools to drive architectural trade-offs.
- Experience in low-power design techniques (e.g., UPF/CPF, multi-voltage islands, power gating, clock gating, etc.) and on-chip power management IP.
