Power Management Architect, Physical AI SoC

Own the power architecture of a Physical AI SoC, defining power domains, voltage and frequency scaling, power states, power delivery, energy budgets, power-control subsystems, power intent, and power and thermal management through silicon bring-up.

Responsibilities

• Own the SoC power architecture.
• Define power domains, DVFS strategy, power states, and the power delivery network.
• Define dynamic and static power management techniques.
• Establish power and energy budgets across use cases.
• Drive power, performance, and area trade-offs.
• Architect the on-die power management and control subsystem.
• Define firmware and software policies for power management.
• Embed power intent into the design flow and validate it through silicon bring-up.
• Define power and thermal management for sustained operation.
• Establish power architecture standards, modeling methodology, and review practices; mentor engineers.

Requirements

• 8+ years in power management, mixed-signal, or SoC architecture.
• Significant experience defining power architecture for shipping silicon or embedded platforms.
• Deep expertise in multiple power domains, DVFS, clock and power gating, adaptive voltage scaling, retention, and power state management.
• Strong understanding of power delivery networks, PMICs, voltage regulation, thermal constraints, and package constraints.
• Hands-on experience with UPF/CPF and power modeling and analysis.
• Experience defining and validating power management policies across silicon design, firmware, and platform software.
• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience optimizing power for AI/ML accelerators or NPUs.
• Familiarity with robotics, automotive, mobile, or other power-constrained domains.
• Experience with energy-aware software, thermal management, and silicon power characterization.
