Power Management Architect

You own the power architecture of a Physical AI SoC, defining power domains, voltage and frequency scaling, power states, and power delivery. You establish power and energy budgets, architect power-control subsystems, embed power intent into design flows, and validate power and thermal management through silicon bring-up.

Responsibilities

• Own the SoC power architecture
• Define power domains, DVFS strategy, power states, and the power delivery network
• Define dynamic and static power management techniques
• Establish power and energy budgets across use cases
• Drive power, performance, and area trade-offs
• Architect the on-die power management and control subsystem
• Define firmware and software policies for power management
• Embed power intent into the design flow and validate it through silicon bring-up
• Define power and thermal management for sustained operation
• Establish power architecture standards, modeling methodology, and review practices

Requirements

• 8+ years in power management, mixed-signal, or SoC architecture
• Significant experience defining power architecture for shipping silicon or embedded platforms
• Deep expertise in multiple power domains, DVFS, clock and power gating, adaptive voltage scaling, retention, and power state management
• Strong understanding of power delivery networks, PMICs, voltage regulation, thermal constraints, and package constraints
• Hands-on experience with UPF/CPF and power modeling and analysis
• Experience defining and validating power management policies across silicon design, firmware, and platform software
• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Experience optimizing power for AI/ML accelerators or NPUs
• Familiarity with robotics, automotive, mobile, or other power-constrained domains
• Experience with energy-aware software, thermal management, and silicon power characterization
