What are the responsibilities and job description for the Power Analysis Engineer position at PRI Global?
Seeking a talented Front-End- Power Analysis Engineer to join our team. This role focuses on RTL-level power analysis, optimization, and verification to support low-power design initiatives. The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with RTL designers and verification teams to identify power inefficiencies and implement solutions that improve overall design efficiency.
Responsibilities:
- Perform RTL-level power analysis and optimization to support low-power design goals.
- Collaborate with RTL designers and DV teams to identify power hotspots and provide actionable recommendations.
- Develop, enhance, and automate RTL-level power analysis flows, including handling and analyzing large datasets for power modeling.
- Support the implementation of low-power design techniques such as clock gating, power gating, and multiple voltage domains.
- Work closely with verification teams to ensure power-related design changes are correctly validated.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience with RTL design (Verilog/SystemVerilog) and verification methodologies (UVM, assertions, coverage).
- Strong expertise in low-power design and RTL-level power optimization, including UPF usage, power gating, and multiple voltage rails.
- Proven experience with RTL-level power analysis tools such as Power-Artist, PrimeTime PX, or PrimePower.
- Proficiency in scripting for automation (Python, TCL) and familiarity with data analysis/ML frameworks.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to iterate quickly for optimal results.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Exposure to synthesis flows and RTL-to-GDSII understanding is a plus.
- Experience analyzing IP power characteristics and building power estimation models for software/firmware teams.
- Skills in data modeling and applying machine learning approaches to optimize power at the RTL level.
