TL;DR · Gate-level IR/EM CAD/NLP Engineer

As a Gate-level IR/EM CAD/NLP Engineer within the CAD Group, you will develop an analytic platform to identify and recommend solutions for signoff IR/EM analysis. You will build innovative machine learning and large language model applications to understand, explain, and interact with EDA software while designing their integration with compute infrastructure. Your daily work involves creating customized reports and dashboards to improve power grid integrity, automating signoff flows, and collaborating with design groups and EDA vendors. The role requires proficiency in Python, UNIX shell environments, and code revision control, alongside experience in data structures, algorithms, and NLP techniques like fine-tuning and prompt engineering. You will address technical challenges in static/dynamic IR analysis, signal/power grid extraction, and STA timing to ensure robust performance for advanced silicon designs and processor technologies.

What you'll do

  • Develop ML and LLM applications to interpret, explain, and interact with EDA software.
  • Design and implement the integration of these models with extensive compute infrastructure.
  • Create customized reports and dashboards to identify IR/EM issues and recommend power grid solutions.
  • Automate and streamline various IR/EM analysis and signoff flows.
  • Collaborate with design groups to address specific IR/EM requirements across different flow stages.
  • Work with EDA vendors to develop solutions that improve tool efficiency and capacity.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and at least 3 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience developing object-oriented programs using data structures and algorithms.
  • Experience writing machine learning algorithms, implementing NLP, or utilizing large language models in industrial applications.
  • Experience with EDA tools, CAD flows, or Tool Flow Methodology (TFM).
  • Proficiency in Python, UNIX shell environment, and code revision control.
  • Knowledge of PNR implementation and/or EMIR analysis flow.
  • Experience with LLM fine-tuning, retrieval augmented generation, and prompt engineering.
  • Ability to coordinate initiatives independently with excellent communication and presentation skills.
