As a GPU Physical Design Engineer within the Silicon Technologies group, you will be responsible for implementing complete chip designs from RTL to tapeout for high-performance, power-efficient GPUs. You will work closely with front-end teams to drive physical aspects early in the design cycle and develop best-in-class construction and optimization recipes for performance, power, and area. Your daily responsibilities include serving as a focal point for place and route, resolving flow issues, and managing complex tasks like floorplanning, clock and power distribution, and multi-voltage integration on cutting-edge technology nodes. You will utilize industry standard physical implementation tools along with TCL, Perl, or Python scripting to manage large GPU designs exceeding 20M gates at frequencies over 1GHz. The role focuses on solving critical hardware challenges involving timing, electrical signoff, and manufacturing yield for advanced silicon.
Implement complete chip designs from RTL through tapeout on cutting-edge 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 specifying 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 challenges 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 insertion, Floorplanning, Clock and Power distribution, Place and Route (preferred).
Experience with multi-voltage, power gated, power retention, and various process related design issues like D1Y and thermal management (preferred).
Expertise with large GPU designs (>20M gates) at frequencies over 1GHz on new technologies (preferred).
Track record of solving complex problems and leading teams to execute world-class GPU designs (preferred).
