Job description:
NXP Semiconductor is conducting an interview for the post of SoC Low-Power Engineer.
Job duties and responsibilities:
As a member of the SoC (System-on-Chip) Low-Power Methodology team, you work on a wide range of SoCs spanning different process technologies [40nm-5nm and below] and market segments [IoT, Industrial, Automotive, Networking, Radar] to produce the best-in-class combination of power, performance, and thermal behavior.
NXP designs a very wide range of SoC solutions from very cost-sensitive, low-power devices to highly integrated, high-performance devices with a worldwide network of design centers. You will be engaging with NXP’s global design team in a highly visible position where strong verbal and written communication skills are a must.
Job requirements:
- RTL / Netlist Power Estimation at IP and SOC level, using industry-standard EDA tools for power estimation
- Hands-on experience in reporting dynamic/leakage power numbers, experience in checking clock gating efficiency, and power optimization techniques.
- Ability to analyze power data and derive meaningful optimization opportunities from that data
- Ability to develop UPF according to the Power Spec
- Validation of UPF using Conformal Low Power tool at RTL and Gate Level
- Working with Verification, Subsystem, and SOC to close UPF-related issues
- Hands-on experience in the development of UPF at block / SOC level having multiple power domains
- Hands-on experience in UPF validation using the Conformal Low Power tool
- Good understanding of low-power implementation flow
- Proficient in scripting languages (Tcl and Perl).
- Ability to communicate effectively with multiple global cross-functional teams
Key challenges:
- Analyse and identify the scope of power improvements at RTL / Synth / Implementation stage.
- Generate high quality signoff power numbers to co-relate with silicon measurements
- Create SOC and IP level power models for use case and system level power modelling
- Deep dive into existing Ways of Working, identify bottlenecks, and creatively suggest improved Ways of Working
Qualifications required:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
- Preferred: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
- Strong understanding of digital hardware design fundamentals, including device physics, circuit analysis, computer architecture, and memory usage at the circuit and system level Verilog / SystemVerilog and industry-standard frontend and backend Tools
