Description

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Our Machine Learning Acceleration (MLA) team develops the Inferentia and Trainium SoCs that are used to power today’s AI workloads in datacenters all around the world. As a Sr. SoC Power Engineer, you’ll contribute to the project at the ground level by modeling and estimating power at every stage of the design from early RTL to final netlist and by driving ways to reduce power consumption of our machine learning accelerators.

We’re searching for an experienced SoC Power engineer with a background in Power analysis with a proven track record of handling challenges at scale. In this role, you’ll be working directly with architects, designers, verification engineers, software teams, and Physical Design experts - defining best practices to reduce power and model power consumption with high accuracy.


Key job responsibilities
- Responsible for full chip power analysis & modelling at various stages of design (RTL to gate level netlist)
- Develop and maintain dashboards for power rollups
- Work with designers, architects, Verification engineers and Physical Design engineers to develop vectors for IR analysis, Thermal analysis and power estimation
- Give feedback to designers and architects on how to reduce power
- Make power measurements in the lab and correlate back to simulations.
- Work with Emulation engineers to model chip-level power consumption

A day in the life
Depending on the state of the project, you may find yourself working on the following:

- Working with designers, architects and verification engineers to come up with worst-case vectors for power analysis or IR analysis
- Root cause causes of low annotation or low switching coverage with vectors
- Develop & maintain dashboards to track power consumption
- Run tools like Power Artist to identify power saving opportunities and feed these back to the design team.
- Work with emulation engineers to model chip level power consumption and correlate with simulation
- Do post-silicon power measurements and correlate with simulation.
