Requirements

Experience in RTL development using Verilog/SystemVerilog, with a focus on low-power RTL design and optimization for complex digital systems
In-depth knowledge and experience in implementing low-power techniques like clock gating, power gating, and dynamic voltage/frequency scaling (DVFS)
Familiarity with synthesis and place-and-route processes with an emphasis on optimizing for power
UPF/CPF power intent specifications
Power analysis tools such as Synopsys PrimePower, Cadence Joules, or similar
Automation of power analysis and optimization workflows using scripting languages (Tcl, Perl, Python)

Responsibilities

Optimize RTL designs to boost power efficiency while meeting performance and area objectives
Perform power analysis throughout various stages of silicon design, applying power-saving strategies in RTL such as clock gating, power gating, multi-voltage domains, and dynamic voltage scaling
Conduct power estimation and evaluate PPA trade-offs for both new and existing design features
Collaborate closely with the physical design team to ensure power targets are met during the synthesis, place-and-route (P&R), and sign-off phases
Create precise power models from RTL simulations and gate-level netlists, and perform power roll-up analysis to estimate chip-level power consumption under different conditions
