GPU Physical Design Engineer

What you'll do

• Drive physical design construction and optimization recipes for performance, power, and area (PPA).
• Execute place and route of GPU partitions using industry-standard tools like Cadence-Innovus.
• Collaborate with front-end teams to provide IP feedback regarding timing and congestion.
• Implement low-power design techniques including clock gating, power gating, and multi-voltage strategies.
• Manage hierarchical designs and floor planning for large-scale GPU designs exceeding 20 million gates.
• Integrate internal and external vendor IPs while defining specific physical domain requirements.
• Develop automation scripts using TCL or Python to streamline physical design tasks and data querying.
• Resolve complex design and flow issues related to manufacturing, yield, and physical construction.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3 years of experience in the job offered or a related occupation.
• Experience using industry standard automated place and route tools like Cadence-Innovus for GPU partitions.
• Experience collaborating with FE teams to provide IP feedback regarding timing and congestion.
• Knowledge of multi-voltage, power gated designs, and low power techniques like clock gating and custom clock construction.
• Experience designing large GPU designs exceeding 20M gates with frequencies over 1GHz.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as TCL or Python to automate physical design tasks and develop utilities.
• Experience managing hierarchical designs, integrating internal/external IP, and addressing yield and manufacturability issues.
