FE Engineer

What you'll do

• Drive methodology changes with Front-End and Physical Design teams to improve performance, power, and area for next-generation GPU designs.
• Analyze standard cell and memory hard-IP offerings to recommend usage for graphics FE/PD teams.
• Drive the design of custom cells tailored specifically for GPU design requirements.
• Analyze GPU power at architecture and gate-level stages to provide recommendations for power reduction.
• Use scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL for execution, analysis, and debugging of designs.
• Utilize industry-standard physical design tools to convert complex logical functions into physically realizable designs meeting PPA targets.
• Perform timing closure using tools like Tempus or Primetime to ensure designs meet performance and electrical requirements.
• Use data analysis and visualizations to convert large datasets from the optimization cycle into meaningful insights.

What we're looking for

• Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer and Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 3 years of experience in the job offered or a related occupation.
• 3 years of experience with threshold voltage, power, device variation, parasitics, noise, EA, and timing concepts.
• 3 years of experience using scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL for design execution, analysis, and debug.
• 3 years of experience using industry standard physical design tools such as Innovus or ICC to meet PPA targets.
• 3 years of experience using timing closure tools such as Tempus or Primetime.
• 3 years of experience with synthesis tools from Synopsys, Cadence, or Mentor to map RTL code into technology-specific gates.
• 3 years of experience utilizing low power design concepts and data analysis/visualizations to optimize design performance.
