Director, System Power

Job Title

Director, System Power

Role Summary

Lead and develop a team of system power architects responsible for low-power FPGA system design, power modeling, measurement, and performance/power analysis. Work cross-functionally with hardware, software, product marketing, and applications teams to define power requirements and deliver power-efficient solutions from concept to production.

Hands-on leadership role focused on methodologies, tools, and scalable infrastructure for power analysis and correlation with post-silicon measurements.

Experience Level

Senior — leadership role. Typical experience guidance: BSEE ~15+ years, MS ~12+ years, PhD ~10+ years in relevant fields.

Responsibilities

The director will set technical direction, build the team, and own power-related design, analysis, and delivery across product lines.

• Build and grow a system power team aligned with business objectives.
• Define and lead low-power system design and power management strategies.
• Establish power budgets; perform power analysis, measurement, and debug.
• Develop power models and modeling methodologies and correlate models with post-silicon measurements.
• Design and run FPGA-focused power and performance benchmarks; track regressions.
• Develop scalable software infrastructure for regression and benchmark tracking.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership and mentor system power architects across geographies.

Requirements

Core technical and leadership requirements.

Must-have:

• Proven experience with power measurements, power modeling, and power/performance analysis across hardware IPs (CPU, GPU, DSP, TPU, FPGAs).
• Proficiency with scripting (e.g., Python) and programming (C/C++ or Java).
• Experience defining and driving best practices and methodologies for power design and analysis.
• Experience leading and mentoring engineering teams across geographies and managing performance.
• Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and communication skills; ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with regression infrastructure, benchmark tracking systems, and scalable tooling for power analysis.
• Deep experience with FPGA-specific power and performance benchmarking.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's, Master's, and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related fields were listed. Experience guidance provided in the posting: BSEE ~15+ years, MS ~12+ years, PhD ~10+ years.
