• Power architecture responsibility for a wearable device covering SoC states, sensor, audio, and memory architecture tradeoffs at board level.
• Battery, PCM, and charging profile definition and validation
• Design power experiments, test plans, and measurement & telemetry mechanisms across firmware and hardware to optimize power and performance.
• Build and maintain system-level power models to model expected power consumption for user profiles. Map power models by subsystem, correlating modeled behavior with instrumented measurements.
• Define user profiles, power and sleep states, and low-power operating modes
• Partner closely with product, hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and regression QA to drive alignment and execution toward power targets.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field.
• 6+ years of experience in power systems, systems engineering, or related domains.
• Experience optimizing multi-core SoCs, understanding of power systems at the platform or system level.
