Résumé du poste

Ampere is seeking a Power Management Engineer to drive power modelling, analysis, optimisation, and validation across CPU, AI accelerator, memory, I/O, and interconnect designs. The role spans architecture, RTL, firmware, and silicon, with emphasis on turning workloads and power data into actionable design decisions.

The ideal candidate will have CMOS fundamentals, experience in pre/post-silicon power analysis, and strong programming skills.

Qualifications

• Electrical or Computer Engineering degree with 5 years of related experience; or Master's with 3 years.
• Experience in semiconductor power analysis, modelling, optimisation, power management, workload characterisation, or silicon validation.
• Strong CMOS power fundamentals and power-reduction techniques.
• Proficient in Python; experience with Tcl, Perl, C/C++, shell or SQL.
• Experience with RTL and gate-level power-analysis tools (Spyglass, Power Artist, Joules, PrimePower).
• Experience with emulation, FPGA, silicon measurement, telemetry, or power/performance correlation.
• Experience with AVS, silicon binning, SKU definition, or Power-management firmware is a plus.
• Strong analytical, communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills.

Responsabilités

• Define power targets and budgets for CPU, AI accelerator, and SoC blocks.
• Develop architectural, activity-based, RTL, gate-level, emulation, and silicon power models.
• Run RTL- and gate-level power analysis; develop benchmarks and tests.
• Characterise workloads to identify power and performance bottlenecks.
• Drive power/performance/area/thermal tradeoff studies across design phases.
• Develop automation, data-processing flows, dashboards, and analysis scripts.
• Use AI for productivity to accelerate workload characterisation, power modelling, anomaly detection, regression analysis, test generation, documentation, and power-management decisions.
• Validate AI-generated results against engineering data and design requirements.
• Drive power-management techniques including clock gating, power gating, DVFS, adaptive voltage scaling, retention, low-power modes.

About The Role

Ampere is looking for a Power Management Engineer to drive power modelling, analysis, optimisation, management, convergence, and validation across CPU, AI accelerator, memory, I/O, and interconnect designs.

This role works across architecture, microarchitecture, RTL, implementation, firmware, validation, and silicon.

The ideal candidate has strong CMOS fundamentals and experience turning workloads, power data, and architectural tradeoffs into actionable design decisions.

The role may include pre-silicon power analysis, post-silicon characterization, power-management feature enablement, power modelling and power attainment.

What You’ll Achieve

• Define power targets, budgets, operating points, and optimisation strategies for CPU, AI accelerator, and SoC blocks.
• Develop and maintain architectural, activity-based, RTL, gate-level, emulation, and silicon power models.
• Set up and run RTL- and gate-level power analysis, develop benchmarks and tests, and review results for opportunities at the architecture, RTL, synthesis, and implementation levels.
• Characterise CPU, memory, PCIe, networking, storage, AI training, and AI inference workloads to identify power and performance bottlenecks.
• Drive power/performance/area/thermal tradeoff studies and power convergence across design & implementation phases.
• Develop automation, data-processing flows, dashboards, and analysis scripts using Python, TCL, Perl, or similar languages.
• Use AI for productivity to accelerate workload characterisation, power modelling, anomaly detection, regression analysis, test generation, documentation, and power-management decisions.
• Validate AI-generated results against engineering data and design requirements.
• Drive power-management techniques including clock gating, power gating, DVFS, adaptive voltage scaling, retention, low-power modes, and workload-aware power management
• Lead or support post-silicon power and voltage-frequency characterisation across domains and blocks.
• Work with ATE, production, firmware, validation, and systems teams on power management settings, AVS, voltage-frequency specifications, silicon binning, and SKU definition.
• Correlate pre-silicon estimates with silicon measurements, investigate gaps, and improve models and methodologies.
• Communicate findings, drive closure, and build consensus across architecture and design, verification, physical design, firmware, performance, and product teams.

About You

• Electrical or Computer Engineering - Bachelors degree & 5 years of related experience; or Master's degree & 3 years
• Experience in semiconductor power analysis, modelling, optimisation, power management, workload characterisation, or silicon validation.
• Strong understanding of CMOS power fundamentals and power-reduction techniques.
• Knowledge of CPU, AI accelerator, memory, I/O, interconnect, and processor workload behaviour.
• Experience with RTL and gate-level power-analysis tools and methodologies; familiarity with tools such as Spyglass, Power Artist, Joules, PrimePower, or equivalent is useful.
• Experience with emulation, FPGA, silicon measurement, telemetry, or power/performance correlation is valuable.
• Experience with voltage-frequency characterisation, AVS, silicon binning, SKU definition, or Power-management firmware is a plus.
• Strong programming and scripting skills in Python; Tcl, Perl, C/C++, shell, SQL, or data-analysis tools are helpful.
• Experience using AI for productivity in silicon design
• Strong analytical, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
