• Generate detailed frequency vs power models in collaboration with design, technology, and post-silicon teams.
• Work with SOC teams to meet product targets pre- and post-silicon for performance at power and/or power at performance.
• Provide feedback and direction to IP teams to drive power and timing optimization efforts and design tradeoffs throughout the project.
• Come up with bottoms-up estimate and top-down power and frequency targets for new IPs and subsystems.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

Expertise in these topics would be a plus:

• Experience in fostering collaboration with team members within and outside the organization across multiple sites.
• Strong data analysis skills and proficiency in Excel and Python.
• Familiarity with the balance between design, frequency, and power.
