TL;DR · GenAI Physical Synthesis Engineer

As a GenAI Physical Synthesis Engineer at Apple’s Silicon Technologies group, you will lead the development of intelligent automation solutions that revolutionize physical synthesis workflows. Your daily tasks include designing and implementing AI-powered agents using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to optimize RTL-to-GDS implementation flows, enhancing existing EDA tools like Fusion Compiler and Genus with agentic capabilities, and collaborating across teams to deploy these advanced AI solutions. You will need expertise in GenAI frameworks, large language models, and experience with synthesis tools such as Fusion Compiler or Genus, along with scripting skills in TCL, Python, or Perl. Additionally, familiarity with physical synthesis concepts, Python AI/ML libraries like PyTorch and TensorFlow, and cloud platforms for distributed model deployment is highly desirable. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology that will significantly impact chip design efficiency at a large scale.

What you'll do

  • Design GenAI-powered agentic applications to optimize physical synthesis processes.
  • Implement intelligent agents using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enhance synthesis flows.
  • Create AI-driven solutions for autonomous analysis and optimization of Physical Synthesis workflows.
  • Build CAD tools that leverage GenAI for automated debugging in synthesis optimization.
  • Integrate agentic solutions with EDA tools like Fusion Compiler and Genus for seamless workflows.

What we're looking for

  • Experience with GenAI frameworks and large language models
  • Proficiency in developing AI agents using Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar agentic frameworks
  • Expertise in industry-standard synthesis tools like Fusion Compiler or Genus
  • Scripting skills in TCL, Python, or Perl for EDA tool automation
  • Understanding of physical synthesis concepts and CAD flows
  • Experience with Python AI/ML libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Transformers
  • Knowledge of prompt engineering and fine-tuning techniques for AI models
