System on Chip (SoC) Power Architect

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics or Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
  
• 8 years of experience in ASIC power management or low power design methodology.
• Experience with ASIC low power flows and power management concepts.
  

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree in Electronics or Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with SoC/System-level power modeling and estimation, defining power targets, power roll-ups, power/voltage domains design and low power architectures/optimization techniques (e.g., clock gating, power gating, multi Vth, DVFS).
• Knowledge of the impact of software and architectural design decisions on system power and thermal behavior.
• Familiarity with PMIC, SMPS, LDO and power delivery networks.
• Excellent understanding of mobile SoC architectures and data flows, and experience with path-to-DDR IPs (e.g., Fabrics, System Cache, Memory Controller, DDRPHY, DRAM).

About the job

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive low power solutions for Google SoCs to optimize Power-Performance-Area (PPA) under peak current and thermal constraints with a focus on path-to-DDR IPs (Fabrics, System Cache, Memory Controller, DDRPHY, DRAM, etc.).
• Define power KPIs and SoC/IP-level power targets, guide architecture, design and implementation to achieve power targets, create power models, perform power roll ups and track power throughout the design cycle
• Propose and drive power optimizations throughout the design process from concept to mass productization.
• Drive power-performance trade-off analysis for engineering reviews and product roadmap decisions.
• Perform post-silicon characterization and productization of power features.
