Overview In this role you own and evolve a critical power estimation and analysis platform that guides architecture and product decisions. You will develop scalable tools to model power, performance, and workloads across configurations, aligning pre-silicon estimates with silicon telemetry. You collaborate with architecture, performance, power, thermal, and firmware teams to enable rapid analysis of trade-offs and produce actionable insights. You drive the platform's roadmap, maintenance, and community of contributors, shaping how we understand energy efficiency in modern SoCs.
