Develop, maintain, and continuously improve a system-level power model that accurately predicts the power consumption of all hardware components and software activities across different operational states and use cases
Understand, characterize, and model power consumption for a wide array of system loads including SoCs, CPUs, GPUs, memory, displays, wireless radios, sensors, actuators, and peripherals across varying functional modes
Integrate battery model (ESR) into use-case based run time estimates as well as HW system DCR and grounding requirements
Collaborate with product and system architecture teams to define and model various use cases and translate into quantifiable power profiles
Extract and integrate pre-silicon power estimates and power breakdown data for chips under development
Partner effectively with various submodule teams to gather accurate power consumption data
Hand-on measurement of power and performance data from prototypes and compare it against model predictions
Provide data-driven insights and recommendations to hardware and software teams for power reduction strategies
Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for power models, assumptions, methodologies, test procedures, and analysis reports.
