• Power dissipation and savings techniques, including dynamic clock and voltage scaling
• Power analysis (leakage and dynamic) and thermal impact evaluation
• Power software features for optimization
• Voltage regulators (Buck converters, Low Dropout regulators)
• ASIC power grids and PCB power distribution networks
• Preferred / Additional Skills:
• Mobile baseband application processor chipset and power grid knowledge
• UPF-based synthesis and implementation with Design Compiler
• Structural low power verification tools (CLP, MVRC)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Responsibilities:

• Define chip and macro-level power domains
• Conduct system-level power modeling and mixed-signal power analysis
• Design power islands, power gating, and power isolation techniques
• Develop structural low-power design elements such as level shifters and isolation cell topologies with associated design rules
• Perform architectural analysis and develop digital power optimization logic, circuits, and software
• Collaborate with Power Management IC developers for power grid planning
• Create detailed architecture and implementation documentation
