Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain power analysis flows including dynamic and static power estimation, vectorless analysis, and power intent verification using industry-standard EDA tools
- Define and implement power methodology guidelines for RTL, synthesis, and physical design stages of the ASIC development flow
- Collaborate with RTL design, physical design, and verification teams to identify and resolve power hotspots and inefficiencies across custom ASIC designs
- Build and optimize EDA infrastructure scripts and automation frameworks to improve power signoff accuracy and turnaround time
- Evaluate and integrate commercial and internally developed EDA tools into the power analysis flow, providing technical assessments and recommendations
- Develop power intent specifications using UPF or CPF and ensure consistent application across design and implementation stages
- Establish power budgets and track power metrics across design milestones, communicating results and risks to cross-functional stakeholders
- Drive continuous improvement of power closure methodologies by analyzing results across multiple tape-outs and identifying systemic opportunities
- Provide technical guidance to other engineers on power analysis best practices, flow usage, and debug techniques
- Partner with EDA tool vendors to evaluate new capabilities and influence tool roadmaps to meet Meta silicon design requirements
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 6+ years of experience in ASIC design or physical design with a focus on power analysis, power optimization, or power signoff
- Experience developing or maintaining EDA flows for power analysis using tools such as Synopsys PrimePower, Cadence Voltus, or equivalent
- Experience with power intent specification languages such as UPF or CPF and their application across RTL-to-GDSII flows
- Experience scripting in Python, Tcl, or shell to build and automate EDA infrastructure workflows
- Experience collaborating across RTL design, physical design, and verification disciplines to drive power closure on complex ASIC designs
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience evaluating and qualifying new EDA tools or methodologies in a production silicon environment
- Familiarity with custom or semi-custom design flows for high-performance computing or data center silicon
- Experience with low-power design techniques including clock gating, power gating, multi-voltage domain design, and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling
- Background in developing internal EDA infrastructure tooling or flow automation at scale across multiple concurrent design projects
