Low-Power Design Engineer: AI-Powered Power Architect

Voltai; United States; On-site; USD 140,000 - 230,000; Full time

Job summary

Voltai is developing world models, and agents to learn, evaluate, plan, experiment, and interact with the physical world. You’ll own power intent from architecture through signoff and help Voltai’s AI learn power-aware design.

You will define power architecture for SoCs and IP, write UPF power intent, and implement power gating, clock gating, and multi-voltage domains. Collaboration with RTL, physical design and signoff teams will ensure robust, low-power silicon.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of low-power design or verification on production tapeouts.
• Expert UPF knowledge and power-aware verification experience.
• Hands-on with tools like VC LP, Conformal Low Power, or PowerArtist.
• Experience with CDC/RDC tools (SpyGlass, Questa CDC, or similar).
• Python or Tcl scripting.

Responsibilities

• Define power architecture and write UPF power intent for SoCs and IP.
• Implement and verify power gating, clock gating, multi-voltage domains, and retention.
• Run power-aware simulation, static low-power checks, and CDC/RDC analysis.
• Partner with RTL, physical design, and signoff teams on power estimation and closure.
• Build automation for power analysis and reporting.
• Evaluate AI-generated power intent and help define what correct looks like.
