• Excellent understanding latest GPU architecture/micro-architecture low power features, design changes and develop Post-Si Low Power validation test plan for 3D/Compute pipeline
• Very good understanding of low power concepts and flows (dynamic, leakage power, clock gating, power gating, Resets, stand-by entry/exit flow, DVFS, clock squashing, TDP, PM flexing)
• Good understanding of power switching, isolation, level shifter, clock domain crossing, PLL, power delivery logic
• Understanding of low power FSM blocks, states and interfaces with microcontrollers, SW Driver, FW, SoC and platform
• Define low power validation scenarios and implement basic/stress/concurrency/cross-feature/PM cycling/random test cases
• Work closely with pre-Si architect/design/verification and SW/FW teams to review test plans and scenarios and finalise synthetic/BareMetal/driver/real use cases to validate on simulation/emulation to sanitize tests before Si arrival
• Analyse feature coverage gaps and enhance test plans
• Define power-on bring up and volume validation regression plan to enable PRQ.
• Come up with receivables/dependencies, Risks/mitigation and follow-up closely with relevant stakeholders for closure
