Camera Power Engineer
$99,400 - $149,200 USD yearly
Originally posted 12 August 2026 by the employer.
Join the Multimedia Power team focused on Camera, Video Encoding/Decoding, and Computer Vision.
About the role
This role involves the analysis, budgeting, and optimization of power consumption across multimedia use cases, focusing on Camera, Video Encoding/Decoding, and Computer Vision.
What you'll do
- Establish hardware core-level power targets and drive power optimization strategies.
- Utilize power estimation and optimization tools like Synopsys PrimePower, Ansys Power Artist, and Siemens PowerPro.
- Validate power estimates by correlating with actual silicon measurements.
- Leverage deep learning and machine learning for power consumption analysis and prediction.
- Provide ongoing support for multimedia core power optimization and estimation from pre-RTL to post-silicon validation.
- Collaborate with System Architects, Design Engineers, and Verification teams to refine multimedia use cases for power analysis.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
- Extensive experience with low power design techniques, including setting power targets, pre-silicon power estimation, and post-silicon power measurement/validation.
- Deep understanding of Synopsys PrimePower, Ansys Power Artist, and Siemens PowerPro.
- Solid grasp of synthesis and physical design processes related to power optimization.
- Knowledge of multimedia intellectual properties (IPs), including camera systems, video codecs, and computer vision technologies.
- Familiarity with SoC architectures and system-level design principles.
