Job summary

Wipro in Sunnyvale is seeking an experienced Power-Analysis Engineer to own the power-analysis flows for SoCs from RTL to gate level. You will develop in-house tools around Synopsys power tools, support design teams, and perform power studies on full-chip designs with AI-assisted runs.

The role requires 8-10 years of silicon validation experience, with the ability to derive metrics and coordinate cross-functional teams. Wipro offers a full benefits package and a path for career reinvention.

Qualifications

• 8-10 years of experience in silicon validation.
• Experience with power-analysis tools and flow development.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain and release in-house wrappers around Synopsys PrimePower, PrimeTime PX, PrimePower RTL and RTL Architect, covering gate-level power and RTL power.
• Own the release cycle: versioned releases, release notes, user guides and tutorials, fixes to released versions, and user support in internal Q&A forums.
• Keep the nightly regression suites passing on reference designs across process nodes, and add a test for every fix.
• Support design teams' power runs: set up inputs, debug failed runs, and judge results for trustworthiness.
• Run power studies on large designs and derive energy per byte, per-block and per-power-domain attribution, clock-gating efficiency, and leakage breakdowns.
• Find root causes of tool, library and flow problems; build small testcases and coordinate with Synopsys support and R&D.
• Produce power data for others: power-tracker spreadsheets, dashboards, and power maps for thermal and IR-drop tools.
• Build and maintain AI-agent automation for the power team: launching and monitoring runs, analysing failures, checking inputs, and filing bugs automatically.

Job description

Role Purpose

You will own the power-analysis flows that a large silicon team uses to estimate and sign off power on its SoCs, from RTL to gate level. You will develop and release in-house tools built around Synopsys power tools, support the design teams that run them, carry out power studies on full-chip designs, and work with Synopsys on tool issues. The team also uses AI agents to launch runs, debug failures and write reports, and you will maintain and extend them.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain and release in-house Python and Tcl wrappers around Synopsys PrimePower, PrimeTime PX, PrimePower RTL and RTL Architect, covering gate-level power (averaged, time-based, glitch and vectorless) and RTL power.
• Own the release cycle: versioned releases, release notes, user guides and tutorials, fixes to released versions, and user support in internal Q&A forums.
• Keep the nightly regression suites passing on reference designs across process nodes, and add a test for every fix.
• Support design teams' power runs: set up inputs (netlist, SDC, SPEF, UPF, libraries, activity files), debug failed runs, and judge whether results can be trusted (annotation coverage, choice of activity window, comparison with earlier design milestones).
• Run power studies on large designs, for example a campaign of more than 100 tests on a full-chip network-on-chip. Derive metrics such as energy per byte, per-block and per-power-domain attribution, clock-gating efficiency, and glitch and leakage breakdowns.
• Find the root cause of tool, library and flow problems, such as memory power rails, power-switch definitions and PDK updates. Build small testcases and work with Synopsys support and R&D.
• Produce power data for others: power-tracker spreadsheets, dashboards, and power maps for thermal and IR-drop tools.
• Build and maintain AI-agent automation for the power team: launching and monitoring runs, analysing failures, checking inputs before expensive runs, and filing bugs automatically.
