Job Overview:
Power Analysis Lead is a technical lead role responsible for estimating, analyzing and optimizing high-volume, sophisticated, SoC platforms on groundbreaking nodes across multiple market segments including mobile, automotive, datacenter and networking, and IoT.
This position plays a meaningful role in the development of production-quality silicon with outstanding performance and power efficiency, both in partnership with Arm partners and producing Arm development silicon!
Responsibilities:
You will join a highly focused group to define and lead activities to analyze and optimize the power of our next generation compute solutions using innovative technologies, methodologies and tools.
- Lead a team focused on pre-silicon power analysis of SoC product features, from early estimation to final product validation.
- Work proactively across Arm's SoC and IP product teams to coordinate the power measurement and optimization of the SoC design.
- Collaborate with Architecture team to develop power modeling and estimation of world-leading SoCs.
- Drive activities for pre-silicon design power measurements throughout the SoC development cycle from early modeling, RTL analysis, to in-depth timing annotated netlist analysis.
- Collaborate with post-silicon characterization team to correlate pre-silicon estimates.
- Defining relevant metrics, visualizations and reports for analyzing power.
- Driving a culture of innovation in the team to improve power analysis methodologies.
Required Skills and Experience :
We are seeking strong technical leadership, with ability to develop accurate project plans involving multiple teams.
- Expertise in RTL and Netlist based power analysis flows.
- Expert knowledge of ASIC design dependencies on power efficiency including technology node, mixed Vt design, standard cell and memory library selection, voltage and power domain partitioning.
- Shown experience driving multiple projects and supporting junior engineers.
- Good knowledge of software use-cases and workloads and how they affect the hardware design power.
- Good understanding of ASIC physical design flows and simulation/emulation flows.
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

- Experience running simulation/emulation tools. (e.g. VCS, Questasim, Incisive, Veloce Strato, Palladium, Zebu, etc)
- Detailed knowledge of low power design features and techniques, including clock and power gating, voltage/frequency scaling, memory/logic retention.
- Python for automation and modeling.
- SoC use-case power budget decomposition to IP power budget.
- Development of SoC benchmarks for power and performance analysis.
- Experience with correlation between pre and post silicon power.
- Excellent presentation, interpersonal and communication skills. Able to present at technical content inside and outside of Arm.
In Return:
We are proud to have a set of behaviors that reflect our culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together! These behaviors are assessed as part of the hiring process:
