About the Role

PowerArtist is a leading RTL power analysis and optimization platform widely adopted across top semiconductor and SoC companies for early power estimation and debug. With increasing industry focus on low-power design and faster tape-outs, PowerArtist plays a critical role in enabling early power closure and design efficiency.

This position offers strong customer visibility, exposure to advanced SoC programs, and the opportunity to work closely with leading semiconductor customers to drive power optimization/estimation success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as primary technical interface for customers using PowerArtist.

• Perform rapid installation, deployment, and configuration in customer environments.

• Set up and debug RTL power analysis flows (libraries, VCD/FSDB, scripts).

• Provide fast response and resolution to customer technical issues.

• Analyze power reports, identify hotspots, and recommend optimization techniques.

• Support integration with simulation and synthesis flows.

• Conduct technical discussions, demos, and customer training sessions.

• Escalate complex issues to R&D with clear technical documentation.

• Ensure adherence to defined SLAs and maintain high customer satisfaction.

Required Skills:

• 3+ years experience in RTL design / power analysis domain.

• Strong hands-on experience with PowerArtist / RTL power estimation tool.

• Solid understanding of RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) and switching activity concepts.

• Knowledge of dynamic and clock power analysis methodologies.

• Experience handling VCD/FSDB waveform-based power estimation.

• Familiarity with synthesis tools (Design Compiler/Genus preferred).

• Strong debugging and log analysis capability.

• Scripting knowledge (TCL/Shell/Python) for automation.

• Excellent communication and customer interaction skills.
