The role

As a Low Power Verification Lead, you will play a key role in ensuring low-power intent integrity across the design lifecycle. You will be responsible for VCLP signoff, ensuring seamless convergence between RTL, synthesis, and physical design stages for hierarchical designs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Understand low power specs and write UPF for hierarchical designs
  • Validate low-power architecture, UPF constraints, and intent across multiple domains.
  • Debug VCLP failures, including issues arising from clock gating, retention, isolation, and level
    shifters
  • Ensure convergence of UPF across synthesis, place-and-route, and ECO cycles
  • Work closely with RTL, Synthesis, DFT, and Physical Design teams to resolve low power
    issues
  • Develop automation scripts and improve methodology for VCLP sign-off

Technical Skills

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related discipline
  • 7+ years of experience in low power methodologies and low power static verification using

VCLP

  • Strong understanding of low-power design concepts (UPF) and methodologies
  • Experience with synthesis, netlist optimizations, and equivalence debugging
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as TCL, Python, or Perl
  • Experience with hierarchical Sub system level VCLP flows

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with DFT concepts and scan impact on UPF and UPF checks
  • Knowledge of STA and Physical Design interactions impacting UPF

Success in This Role Looks Like

  • Clean VCLP sign-off
  • Fast turnaround time in debugging and resolving VCLP/UPF issues
  • Robust, scalable VCLP methodologies across projects
  • Strong cross-team collaboration ensuring smooth design convergence

How you'll work

  • 4 days per week in the Barcelona office (city center), 1 day WFH.
  • 1 week of work from everywhere in the world.
