GPU Physical Design Engineer

What you'll do

• Implement complete chip designs from RTL through tapeout on advanced technology nodes.
• Drive physical design construction and optimization recipes to improve performance, power, and area (PPA).
• Serve as the focal point for place and route tasks, including goal setting and planning.
• Resolve complex design and flow issues related to physical implementation and signoff.
• Integrate internal and external IP while managing requirements in the physical domain.
• Develop and implement automated scripts using TCL, Perl, or Python to streamline workflows.
• Manage multi-voltage, power gated, and power retention designs for large GPU architectures.
• Address manufacturing concerns including design for yield, thermal management, and multi-Vt strategies.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor of Science degree and 10 years of relevant experience.
• Experience with industry standard physical implementation tools and PPA optimization flows.
• Experience with TCL, Perl, or Python scripting.
• Experience creating and analyzing floorplanning tools, P&R flows, static timing, and Physical Design Verification Flows.
• Proven ability in all aspects of ASIC implementation including Synthesis, DFT, Floorplanning, Clock/Power distribution, and signoff (preferred).
• Experience with multi-voltage, power gated, and power retention features (preferred).
• Knowledge of hierarchical design, top-down design, budgeting, timing, and physical convergence (preferred).
• Experience integrating internal and external vendor IPs and managing large GPU designs over 20M gates (preferred).
