Power Engineer

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldnt have imagined, and now, cant imagine living without. Its the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. APPLE INC has the following available in Austin, Texas. Work with architects to resolve interesting use-cases to simulate. Provide power projection for the future projects based on analysis. Create test cases within the design verification team's environment. Work with logic teams to determine the correct functionality or enhance functionality for power reduction. Work with Architecture and design team to model the SOC power for use cases. Develop IP power model on new architecture design, providing power data for performance/power/area trade-offs. Work with multi-functional teams on improving power modeling; and understand interactions of the product at the software and system level that impact power. 40 hours/week.Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field.

Education/experience with each of the following skills is required:

Running and analyzing Synopsys PTPX power data, both leakage and dynamic at multiple temperatures Using PrimePower RTL or PowerArtist and how to identify opportunities for improving power in design Writing Verilog and developing test bench code for generating new power coverage vectors Analyzing different frequency and voltage combinations that would help achieve optimal power. Writing Python/Perl for enhancing power modeling flows or data analysis Working with synthesis flows, clock constraints, and physical design Understanding silicon characterization and how to account for part distributions for modeling accuracy Improving power modeling by understanding front-end simulations, use-case definitions, and real system behaviorsN/A
