Job summary

Annapurna Labs, an AWS organization, is seeking a Power Validation Engineer to own power-domain validation for next‑generation ML accelerators powering AWS infrastructure.

You will work across silicon power delivery, DVFS, workloads, and system-level power budgeting, collaborating with power architecture, RTL design, firmware, and software teams to meet power targets and ensure production readiness.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in power characterization, power delivery validation, or power architecture verification for high-performance digital systems.
• Strong understanding of DVFS flows, power control schemes, peak power management, and di/dt handling techniques.
• Proficiency with power measurement instrumentation: DC power analyzers, current probes, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, and VNA/TDR for PDN impedance characterization.
• Experience applying data analysis and visualization techniques to interpret power measurement data and drive optimization decisions.

Responsibilities

• Own power-domain validation across the product development lifecycle—from design validation through emulation, silicon bring-up, post-silicon characterization, to production support.
• Collaborate with power architecture, RTL design, design verification, firmware, and software teams to meet power targets and efficiency goals.
• Develop comprehensive power validation strategies and detailed test plans covering sequencing, DVFS, peak power, di/dt, and stress testing.
• Characterize peak power and transient behavior under ML workloads across PVT corners.
• Build automated power regression frameworks, dashboards, and anomaly detection to track power across steppings at scale.
• Triage power anomalies and drive root cause analysis with cross-functional teams.
