Post-Silicon System Power and Performance Engineer

Job Title: Post-Silicon System Power and Performance Engineer

Job Level: Senior Software Engineer (SSE)

Location: Bengaluru, India

Job Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Post-Silicon System Power and Performance Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will focus on performance optimization and competitive analysis of cutting-edge SoC platforms. You will play a key role in analyzing and resolving performance bottlenecks, optimizing system power and performance, and documenting findings to guide future designs. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work on next-generation devices, where knowledge of Android systems will be a valuable asset.

Key Responsibilities

• Performance Optimization:
• Analyze post-silicon power and performance data to identify areas of improvement.
• Optimize system-level performance for key workloads and applications.
• Fine-tune hardware and software configurations (e.g., DVFS, firmware, drivers).
• Competitive Analysis:
• Benchmark SoC platforms against competitive products using industry-standard tools and workloads.
• Provide data-driven insights and recommendations for product positioning.
• Performance Bottleneck Analysis:
• Identify and address system-level performance bottlenecks.
• Conduct root-cause analysis involving hardware, firmware, and software layers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve issues.
• Documentation and Reporting:
• Maintain detailed documentation of performance analysis, optimization strategies, and results.
• Communicate findings effectively to internal teams and stakeholders.
• Post-Silicon Validation:
• Validate power and performance against pre-silicon predictions.
• Characterize system behavior across different PVT (Power, Voltage, Temperature) conditions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
• Work closely with design, firmware, and software teams to ensure seamless integration of optimizations.
• Provide feedback to architecture and pre-silicon teams for future SoC improvements.
• Android System Knowledge (Preferred):
• Analyze and optimize SoC performance for Android-based devices.
• Leverage Android debugging tools to identify and resolve performance issues.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience in post-silicon validation, performance optimization, or a related area.
• Strong understanding of SoC architecture, power management, and performance analysis.
• Proficiency in using industry-standard tools for power and performance benchmarking (e.g., SPEC, Geekbench, Dhrystone).
• Experience in debugging system-level performance issues.
• Familiarity with performance tuning techniques such as DVFS, power gating, and workload optimization.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with Android-based platforms.
• Proficiency in Android debugging tools (e.g., Systrace, Perfetto).
• Knowledge of scripting languages (e.g., Python) for data analysis and automation.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
