Power Architect

About the role

The Power Architect at MatX is responsible for driving power architecture and cross-stack power tradeoffs for the company's next-generation products. This role connects various implementation domains such as architecture, RTL, physical design, and platform to ensure efficient power usage throughout the product lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Own MatX’s shared power architecture framework for server-class AI accelerators.
• Define power budgets, models, targets, and tradeoff methods.
• Build and correlate estimation frameworks connecting architecture intent to implementation reality.
• Partner with architecture, RTL, DV, PD, and platform teams to surface and track cross-functional power tradeoffs.
• Drive decisions across power, performance, area, timing, voltage, thermal, reliability, schedule, and deployability.
• Translate power assumptions and data into actionable guidance for implementation teams.
• Help define power-control features, throttling, and telemetry.

Requirements

• Deep experience in power architecture, power modeling, power methodology, or power-performance analysis for complex chips.
• Ability to reason across architecture, RTL, PD, firmware, platform, and thermal constraints and tradeoffs.
• Experience building early models to influence direction and later models for correlation.
• Strong analytical skills for modeling, automation, and data analysis.
• Credibility with senior technical counterparts across multiple disciplines.
• Able to communicate tradeoffs and drive alignment.

Bonus points

• Experience with AI accelerators, GPUs, datacenter CPUs, networking silicon, or other server-class chips.
• Experience with ML workloads and perf/Watt analysis.
• Experience correlating architectural models to RTL, PD, silicon, or platform measurements.
