Lead low power validation strategy and drive validation roadmap across multiple projects
Lead a very high performing team of talented engineers working on GPU IP post-Si low power validation
Excellent understanding latest GPU architecture/micro-architecture low power features, design changes and develop Post-Si Low Power validation test plan for 3D/Compute pipeline
Very good understanding of low power concepts and flows (dynamic, leakage power, clock gating, power gating, Resets, stand-by entry/exit flow, DVFS, clock squashing, TDP, PM flexing)
Good understanding of power switching, isolation, level shifter, clock domain crossing, PLL, power delivery logic
Understanding of low power FSM blocks, states and interfaces with microcontrollers, SW Driver, FW, SoC and platform
Define low power validation scenarios and implement basic/stress/concurrency/cross-feature/PM cycling/random test cases
Work closely with pre-Si architect/design/verification and SW/FW teams to review test plans and scenarios and finalise synthetic/BareMetal/driver/real use cases to validate on simulation/emulation to sanitize tests before Si arrival
Analyse feature coverage gaps and enhance test plans
Define power-on bring up and volume validation regression plan to enable PRQ.
Come up with receivables/dependencies, Risks/mitigation and follow-up closely with relevant stakeholders for closure
Debug: Understand Si failure signatures in-depth, work closely with design and architecture, SW/FW teams to root cause issues. Guide juniors on debug
Tools : Advance usage of Si debug tools.Work with tool development teams to Develop tools/scripts. Effective reproduction of issue on Emulation/simulation to decrease debug TAT
Innovation – Drive development of new low power validation methodologies, shift-left validation, PM test framework, automation tools (test content generation, debug, feature coverage) and adoption of AI/ML methods to improve efficiency
Regular Rolling up of the Post Si low power validation status to the upper management for decisions at various product cycle milestones
