The GPU Design Implementation Engineer joins the Adreno GPU team to manage front end implementation design challenges and methodologies. This hands-on role involves integrating and delivering state-of-the-art GPU cores while collaborating with microarchitecture and physical design teams to meet aggressive Power, Performance, and Area targets. The engineer will support execution-driven teams for tape-outs by developing new flows and methods to improve PPA in advanced deep sub-micron technologies. Key responsibilities include RTL synthesis, formal verification, timing analysis, and solving performance bottlenecks. Required technical skills include proficiency with Synopsys Next Generation tools, Conformal LEC, Formality, and PrimeTime, alongside scripting in Tcl, Perl, or Python. The role focuses on the complex domain of GPU micro-architecture and VLSI design for sub-micron technology nodes, specifically addressing challenges inherent in advanced fabrication processes like FINFETs and GAA.

What you'll do

  • Manage front-end implementation design challenges and methodologies for Adreno GPU cores.
  • Implement and deliver state-of-the-art GPU cores while meeting aggressive Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) targets.
  • Support new methodologies and flows to improve PPA during the tape-out process.
  • Perform RTL synthesis and utilize front-end EDA tools like Synopsys PrimeTime and Conformal LEC.
  • Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks through innovative design solutions and micro-architecture improvements.
  • Develop scripts using Tcl, Perl, or Python to support design flows and automation.
  • Execute designs on advanced sub-micron technology nodes including 5nm and 4nm processes.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field with 6+ years of engineering experience (or Master's with 5+ years, or PhD with 4+ years).
  • Experience with digital design and RTL synthesis.
  • Experience with front end EDA tools including Synopsys Next Generation tools, Conformal LEC, Formality, and PrimeTime.
  • Strong understanding of CMOS circuit design to improve Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) for complex designs.
  • Solid working knowledge of scripting skills in Tcl, Perl, or Python.
  • Hands-on experience taping out designs in sub-micron technology nodes under 10nm.
  • Experience with physical design implementation (preferred).
  • Knowledge of sub-micron technology process nodes such as 5nm and 4nm (preferred).
