Senior Power-Management Architect

Join a cutting-edge and well-funded hardware startup in Silicon Valley as a Junior Power-Management Architect, focused on modeling and optimizing Power/Performance features on a cutting-edge design. Our mission is to reimagine silicon and create Risc-V based Accelerated computing platforms that will transform the industry. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the most talented and passionate engineers in the world to create designs that push the envelope on performance, energy efficiency and scalability. We offer a fun, creative and flexible work environment, with a shared vision to build products to change the world.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with the Performance team to analyze power behavior of workloads of interest on Rivos’ architecture
• Define and extend the power management features, to maximize performance on workloads of interest under power and current constraints
• Work closely with micro architecture and design teams to bring the new features to product level quality
• Collaborate with the performance simulation teams to prototype the features and analyze their benefits pre-silicon
• Work closely with the FW and SW teams to integrate the heuristics into the FW code and simulation model
• Assist with post-silicon bringup and characterization of the power-management architecture on RIvos’ devices.

Requirements

• BS/MS degree in CS/CE/EE or equivalent experience
• Experience with CPU/GPU/SoC power-management architecture feature definition such as power capping, thermal control, current capping, and DVFS
• Good understanding of power and/or performance modeling using simulators is preferred
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
• Go-getter capable of initiating and driving tasks from start to finish with minimum technical oversight 

Education and Experience

• BS (5-10 years of experience) or MS (3-5 years of experience) with a degree in CS/CE/EE or equivalent field, The team already includes senior engineers who will collaborate on feature definition and mentoring.
