  • Own integration at both block and full-chip levels, resolving system-level interface conflicts
  • Guarantee compliance with linting, clock domain crossing, and synthesis standards
  • Optimize RTL for downstream physical and timing implementation
  • Implement and manage scan chains, test structures, and test coverage completion
  • Execute, validate, and troubleshoot logic equivalence checks between RTL and gate-level netlists
  • Create and verify timing constraints in SDC format and achieve timing closure
  • Manage timing and functional engineering change orders throughout the design cycle
  • Lead preparation for design signoff across lint, CDC/RDC, synthesis, LEC, and timing
  • Ensure all design deliverables meet functional correctness, timing, power, and test targets
  • Support post-silicon validation, debugging, and root cause investigation
  • Collaborate with verification, physical design, DFT, and firmware groups
  • Coordinate design execution with verification strategies and implementation constraints
  • Serve as the technical liaison connecting front-end design and back-end implementation teams

About company
PowerLattice

PowerLattice is reimagining power delivery for next-generation AI accelerators with the industry's first power delivery chiplet. The company tightly integrates power and compute, delivering power precisely where and when it’s needed to achieve breakthrough performance, efficiency, and scalability for AI and data center infrastructure.

PowerLattice’s solution breaks through the AI “power wall” by integrating voltage regulation directly into the processor package, drastically reducing power loss and noise. This enables more than 50% reduction in effective compute power needs, cooler runtime, and up to 2X or more raw performance uplift under fixed power budgets.

The company’s chiplet architecture is based on its proprietary Rainier micro-IVR technology, combining miniaturized on-die magnetic inductors, advanced control circuits, and a programmable software layer in a vertical, scalable design. This allows seamless adaptation to any SoC power topology and supports flexible integration into various packaging schemes.
