Power Micro-Architecture Engineer

Job Title

Power Micro-Architecture Engineer

Role Summary

Work on power analysis and optimization for next-generation switch silicon. The role focuses on estimating, measuring, and debugging power across the chip and influencing micro-architecture and design tradeoffs.

This position is embedded in the switch architecture team; you will not write RTL but will collaborate with designers, validation, and architecture teams to improve power efficiency.

Experience Level

Mid-level (3–8 years of relevant experience)

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities involve defining and implementing power-aware micro-architectural strategies and supporting silicon bring-up.

• Define power-aware architectural methodologies and influence power-conscious design decisions across Switch architecture.
• Research, develop, and implement micro-architecture power optimizations.
• Estimate, measure, and analyze chip power behavior to guide design tradeoffs.
• Participate in silicon validation to debug power-related issues and determine the chip power profile.
• Collaborate with designers and cross-functional teams to align on technical approaches.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience. Education requirements are listed separately below.

• Must-have: 3–8 years in digital design or a related hardware field.
• Must-have: Ability to read and navigate complex SystemVerilog to analyze design behavior (RTL reading, not RTL writing).
• Must-have: Strong communication skills and experience working across multiple engineering teams to drive technical alignment.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with power estimation, power measurement, silicon validation, or switch/networking architectures.

Education Requirements

B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (Bachelor's degree). No other degree fields or equivalent-experience language specified.
