Our Machine Learning Acceleration (MLA) team develops the Inferentia and Trainium SoCs that are used to power today’s AI workloads in datacenters all around the world. As a Sr. SoC EMIR Engineer, you’ll contribute to the EMIR sign-off of our SoCs and help maintain a high bar on quality.
We’re searching for an experienced EMIR engineer with a proven track record of handling challenges at scale. In this role, you’ll be working directly with architects, designers, verification engineers, power integrity engineers and physical design experts - defining best practices in power grid design, developing test cases & vectors to model demand currents accurately, modeling & signing-off EMIR taking into account board and package impact, advancing the state-of-the-art in EMIR analysis and modeling.
Key job responsibilities
* Design & analyze power grids
* Setup flows for EMIR analysis
* Run EMIR analysis for large subsystems, SoCs
* Partner with EDA tool vendors to develop / evaluate new methodologies for EMIR analysis
* Develop and maintain dashboards for EMIR rollups
* Work with designers, architects, Verification engineers and Physical Design engineers to develop vectors for IR analysis, Thermal analysis and power estimation
A day in the life
Depending on the state of the project, you may find yourself working on the following:
* Design and evaluate power grids
* Working with designers, architects and verification engineers to come up with worst-case vectors for power and IR analysis
* Root cause causes of low annotation or low switching coverage with vectors
* Develop & maintain dashboards to track EMIR status
* Root cause causes of IR drop and suggest solutions to fix
* Combine IR analysis of SoC with IR at board and package level (concurrent IR analysis)
* Do post-silicon power measurements and correlate with simulation.
* Innovate on ways to model VR, board and package impact on voltage drop more accurately.
* Partner with EDA tool vendors to develop / evaluate new methodologies for EMIR analysis
About the team
We are a start-up like team where no-one says "this is not my job" and you won't find anyone telling you to stay in your lane. This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position, and you’ll work with thought-leaders in multiple technology areas. We encourage collaboration and teamwork with multiple teams and engineers including architects, RTL designers, Verification engineers, , Physical Design engineers, Emulation engineers and software engineers.
