Lead Graphics Post Silicon Performance and Power Validation Engineer

 About The Role : 

Lead low power validation strategy and drive validation roadmap across multiple projects

Lead a very high performing team of talented engineers working on GPU IP post-Si low power validation

Excellent understanding latest GPU architecture/micro-architecture low power features, design changes and develop Post-Si Low Power validation test plan for 3D/Compute pipeline

Very good understanding of low power concepts and flows (dynamic, leakage power, clock gating, power gating, Resets, stand-by entry/exit flow, DVFS, clock squashing, TDP, PM flexing)

Good understanding of power switching, isolation, level shifter, clock domain crossing, PLL, power delivery logic

Understanding of low power FSM blocks, states and interfaces with microcontrollers, SW Driver, FW, SoC and platform

Define low power validation scenarios and implement basic/stress/concurrency/cross-feature/PM cycling/random test cases

Work closely with pre-Si architect/design/verification and SW/FW teams to review test plans and scenarios and finalise synthetic/BareMetal/driver/real use cases to validate on simulation/emulation to sanitize tests before Si arrival

Analyse feature coverage gaps and enhance test plans

Define power-on bring up and volume validation regression plan to enable PRQ.

Come up with receivables/dependencies, Risks/mitigation and follow-up closely with relevant stakeholders for closure

Debug:Understand Si failure signatures in-depth, work closely with design and architecture, SW/FW teams to root cause issues. Guide juniors on debug

Tools

: Advance usage of Si debug tools. Work with tool development teams to Develop tools/scripts. Effective reproduction of issue on Emulation/simulation to decrease debug TAT

Innovation

- Drive development of new low power validation methodologies, shift-left validation, PM test framework, automation tools (test content generation, debug, feature coverage) and adoption of AI/ML methods to improve efficiency

Regular Rolling up of the Post Si low power validation status to the upper management for decisions at various product cycle milestones

 Qualifications 

Master of Engineering degree in Computer or Electronics or Embedded Systems Engineering with 7+ years' experience in graphics post silicon power management

PhD degree in Computer or Electronics or Embedded Systems Engineering with 5+ years' experience in graphics post silicon power management

Should have good understanding of Computer architecture, Graphics architecture/design, low power Validation and Si Debug Flow

Hands-on experience in C/ C++, and Perl/Python, Linux Shell Scripting

Familiarity with Verilog/System Verilog/VHDL

Familiarity with Windows, Linux OS, commands and environment

Familiarity with OpenCL, OpenGL, Vulkan and DirectX API programming is desirable.

Good analytical ability, problem solving, and written and verbal communication skills
