Infineon_Bangalore_Principal Engineer_SystemC_5+ yrs

Job Description
In your new role, you will:

 

• System-Level Power Estimation & Optimisation: Lead the research, development, and implementation of advanced methodologies and tools for accurate system-level power estimation (pre-silicon and post-silicon). Drive the identification and recommendation of power optimisation strategies across hardware and software components.
• Algorithm Development & Integration: Define, design, and optimise algorithms that are critical for system performance, power efficiency, and functionality. This includes, but is not limited to, algorithms for power management, resource allocation, performance optimisation, and various domain-specific functionalities.
• System Modelling & Architecture : Develop comprehensive system-level models (e.g., performance, power, functional) to enable early design space exploration, trade-off analysis, and architectural validation. Drive the definition of system architectures that align with performance, power, and cost targets.
• Methodology Development: Pioneer and implement novel system engineering methodologies, tools, and best practices to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the design and development lifecycle.
• Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Provide technical leadership and guidance to cross-functional teams (hardware design, software development, validation, etc.)—mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
• Research & Innovation: Stay abreast of industry trends, emerging technologies, and academic research in system engineering, algorithms, and power management. Proactively identify opportunities for innovation and apply cutting-edge techniques to solve complex challenges.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate extensively with various product teams, research groups, and external partners to understand requirements, integrate solutions, and drive adoption of developed methodologies and models.
• Strategic Influence: Influence long-term technology roadmaps and strategic initiatives by providing expert insights into system capabilities, limitations, and future directions.
