## About the role

We are looking for talented RTL Engineers to help build Velaura's next generation Physical AI SoC. You will work closely with architects, performance modelers, software engineers, verification engineers and physical design teams to turn architectural concepts into production silicon. In this role you will own power management of the SoC at every level, delivering silicon that meets its performance targets well within the power budgets allocated to it.

## What they're looking for

- Strong grasp of the physics and electrical engineering behind average power, peak current, thermal behavior and voltage droop, and of how these concepts relate while remaining independent
- Experience designing power management hardware such as digital power meters, throttlers, or thermal and current control loops
- Understanding of di/dt, IR drop and power delivery network behavior, and their impact on timing margin
- Experience with clock and reset architecture including clock gating, PLL management and reset sequencing
- Working knowledge of Verilog or SystemVerilog and modern RTL design methodology
- Experience with power estimation and analysis flows from RTL through gate level
