Responsibilities
- Develop chip power model from chip architecture, estimate chip power from microarchitecture, and devise power saving techniques for product use cases.
- Work closely with Architects, Performance Engineers, Software Engineers, ASIC Design Engineers, and Physical Design teams to implement design for optimal power using advanced power management techniques.
- Estiate and analyze power consumption data at both full-chip and unit levels, guiding ASIC teams to enhance the power efficiency of all functional units both pre-silicon and post silicon. Correlate the estimated power consumption to the measured power.
- You may be a good fit if you have
- Experience in power optimization using dynamic voltage and frequency scaling techniques, power aware synthesis, glitch power reduction techniques as well as efficient power delivery network implementation.
- Experience with gate-level power optimization through VCD-based and/or FSDB-based power analysis.
- Strong understanding of concepts of energy consumption, estimation, data movement, low power design, and power-saving features.
- Strong candidates may also have experience with
- Digital design and optimization using industry-standard power analysis tools and methodologies.
- Leading power optimization at RTL and layout level using PrimePower, VCD-based analysis, DVFS, clock power reduction, clock gating, and glitch reduction techniques.

Additional Information
About Etched Etched is building AI chips that are hard-coded for individual model architectures. Our first product (Sohu) only supports transformers, but has an order of magnitude more throughput and lower latency than a B200. With Etched ASICs, you can build products that would be impossible with GPUs, like real-time video generation models and extremely deep & parallel chain-of-thought reasoning agents.
