Our Power and Performance Validation teams are responsible for validating the power subsystems, the power delivery networks, and optimizing the battery life and performance of our CPUs. As a member of our Power and Performance Validation Team you will:
- Create, define and develop power validation methods, environments and test content.
- Use and apply platform level tools and techniques to ensure performance to specifications, and optimize and characterize the power delivery networks.
- Perform Si and platform debug to root-cause issues and enable robust design fixes.
- Requires broad understanding of multiple system areas and requires interfaces with architecture design and pre-silicon validation teams in improving post-silicon test content and providing feedback for future on die debug features.
- Be able to demonstrate success in communicating plans status issues and concerns.
- Test planning execution monitoring and reporting test results.
- Collaboration with cross functional HW and SW teams to solve complex issues and improve efficiency.
- Frontline and drive schedules and issues to closure in high complex scenarios.
- Help define solutions for customer issues.
- Be able to make judgment calls regarding customer deliverables and program level risk assessment from a power and performance standpoint.
Behavioral Traits:
- Demonstrated collaboration and teaming skills
- Demonstrated networking, communication and influence skills
