Power, Performance and Thermal (PPT) Engineer

Department: System SW

Location: Dongtan

Employment Type: FullTime

Role overview

Join our Power, Performance, and Thermal (PPT) Engineering team to optimize the next generation of AI accelerators. In this role, you will drive hardware and system-level innovations that maximize performance while minimizing power consumption and thermal impact. You will work closely with architecture, design, and software teams to develop high-performance, power-efficient NPU solutions from concept to production.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome engineers at all experience levels—from early-career professionals to experienced technical leaders—who are passionate about building and optimizing world-class NPU architectures and solving complex power, performance, and thermal challenges.

Role & Responsibilities

• You will develop core system software to control power, performance, and thermals in an Linux environment for NPU SoCs.

• DVFS & Power Management: Design and develop dynamic voltage and frequency scaling policies and drivers utilizing cpufreq, devfreq, and SCMI under Embedded Linux.

• Core Subsystem Driver Development: Build and optimize drivers for CCF (Common Clock Framework), Regulators, and Thermal Management.

• Power/Performance Profiling: Analyze power consumption and thermal trends during NPU execution to construct and validate optimal OPP (Operating Performance Point) tables.

Minimum Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and AArch64 assembly.

• Hands-on experience in Linux Kernel and Device Driver development.

• Deep understanding of SoC architecture, including clock trees and power management mechanisms.

Preferred Skills

• Experience in Chip/Board Bring-up and firmware development for mobile SoCs, NPUs, or GPUs.

• Experience with JTAG in any aspect of debugging.

• Experience with, or a strong interest in, Rust for system programming.

• A proactive problem-solver who enjoys optimizing at the intersection of hardware and software.

Work Location & Flexibility

• Location: Choose between our Seoul (Sinsa) office or Gyeonggi-do (Dongtan, Hwaseong) office.

• Hybrid Work: Highly flexible remote/work-from-home policy to ensure you can focus and deliver your best work in an autonomous environment.
