Responsibilities
- Lead the definition of power requirements for Tensor mobile System-on-Chips (SoCs) to achieve Power-Performance-Area (PPA) with a primary focus on the memory subsystem (memory controller, DDRPHY, DRAM).
- Own and drive cross-functional teams to deliver on power Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the memory subsystem and other major SoC IPs.
- Propose and drive power optimizations for the memory subsystem throughout the design process from concept to mass productization.
- Drive power-performance trade-off analysis for engineering reviews and product roadmap decisions.
- Represent status of SoC power to the executive leadership team.
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 10 years of experience with memory subsystem architectures, including for mobile SoCs.
- Experience in power management or low power design/methodology, as well as with low power architecture and power optimization techniques.
- Experience with full product delivery cycle (e.g., definition, architecture, design and implementation, testing, productization).
Preferred qualifications:
- Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
- Experience with memory subsystem architectures, cache hierarchies, system-level power and performance modeling, SoC-wide traffic analysis and optimizations, LPDDR standards, etc.
- Excellent leadership, organizational, and communication skills.
In most instances, this position requires in-person interviews as part of the hiring process.
