Job Overview:
Principal Low Power Engineer role responsible for leading the delivery of SOC execution to meet product specific critical metrics. This work includes power budgeting, use-case analysis, estimation, and optimization for high-volume, sophisticated, SoC platforms on groundbreaking technology nodes across multiple market segments including IoT, AI/ML, compute, automotive, and server.

This position plays a meaningful role in the development of production-quality silicon with outstanding performance and power efficiency, both in partnership with Arm partners and producing Arm development silicon!
Responsibilities:
In this role, you will lead a team passionate about pre-silicon power analysis of SoC product features, from early estimation to final product validation. Working proactively across Arm's SoC and IP product teams you will coordinate the optimization of SoC designs enabling Arm's continued leadership in product power efficiency.

Opportunity to grow with collaboration with Architecture teams for understanding new use-cases, developing power modeling and solutions for industry leading performance-per-watt designs. Driving methodology and execution throughout the SoC development cycle from early modeling, RTL analysis, to post physical design implementation and finally validation through collaboration with post-silicon characterization teams. Promoting a culture of innovation, improving power analysis methodologies, defining relevant metrics and visualizations of results.
Required Skills and Experience :
We are seeking strong technical leadership, with ability to develop accurate project plans involving multiple teams.

• Expertise in RTL and Netlist based power analysis flows with good understanding of SoC physical design flows and simulation/emulation flows.
• Knowledge of ASIC design dependencies on power efficiency including technology node, mixed Vt design, standard cell and memory library selection, voltage and power domain partitioning.
• Demonstrated experience driving multiple projects and supporting junior engineers.
• Appreciation of software use-cases, benchmarks, and workloads and how they interact with hardware low power features like clock and power gating, voltage/frequency scaling, memory/logic retention.
• Excellent presentation, interpersonal and communication skills. Able to present at technical content inside and outside of Arm.

"Nice To Have" Skills and Experience :

• Experience using tools for power analysis, power delivery and signoff. (e.g. PowerPro, PowerArtist, PrimePower, Redhawk, etc)
• Experience running simulation/emulation tools. (e.g. VCS, Questasim, Incisive, Veloce Strato, Palladium, Zebu, etc)
• Python for automation and modeling.
• SoC use-case power budget decomposition to IP power budget.
• Experience with correlation between pre and post silicon power.

In Return:
You will join a highly focused group to define and lead activities to analyze and optimize the power of our next generation compute solutions using innovative technologies, methodologies and tools.
