Power Management Architect

Responsibilities

• Define system-level power management architecture and operating modes

• Define CPU and cluster power states and their coordination mechanisms

• Define reset flow architecture, including cold and warm reset sequencing and reset-power state interactions

• Define PM policies, sequencing, and state transitions across the platform

• Define hardware–firmware power management interfaces and compliance expectations

• Define power management requirements and constraints to guide implementation teams

• Align architecture, RTL, physical design, thermal, and firmware teams around a coherent PM strategy

• Support silicon bring-up and post-silicon power behavior validation

Required Experience

• 7+ years in SoC or CPU power management architecture

• Direct experience with ARM CPU power management architecture, including familiarity with ARM power management specifications and compliance requirements (e.g., PSCI, ARM power state definitions, firmware coordination models)

• Strong understanding of system-level power state management and hardware–firmware PM interaction

• Solid understanding of power delivery constraints

• Track record of cross-functional coordination across architecture, design, and firmware teams

Preferred Experience

• Familiarity with low-power implementation flows (e.g., UPF) and physical power considerations

• Understanding of thermal management concepts and power-thermal interaction at system level

• High-performance or server-class CPU experience

• RISC-V experience

• Silicon bring-up and post-silicon tuning experience

• Multi-generation architecture planning experience
