As part of the Silicon Technologies group at Apple, you will join a dynamic team as a senior-level GPU Physical Design Engineer responsible for implementing complete chip design from RTL to tapeout. Your daily tasks include collaborating with the Front-End (FE) team to understand chip architecture and driving physical aspects early in the design cycle, optimizing performance, power, and area (PPA), and leading methodologies and best known methods for PD work. You will also manage place-and-route engineers, resolve complex design issues, and ensure delivery of world-class GPU implementations using cutting-edge technology nodes. The role demands expertise with industry-standard physical implementation tools, TCL/Perl/Python scripting, and a deep understanding of ASIC implementation processes including synthesis, DFT insertion, floorplanning, clock distribution, and timing signoff. Experience with large-scale GPU designs (>20M gates) and multi-voltage strategies is highly valued.

What you'll do

  • Drive physical design construction and optimization for performance, power, and area (PPA).
  • Set methodologies and guidelines for efficient physical design processes.
  • Coordinate place and route activities with engineering teams to meet project goals.
  • Resolve complex physical design issues and drive innovative solutions.
  • Work on cutting-edge GPU designs using the latest technology nodes.

What we're looking for

  • Experience with industry-standard physical implementation tools and PPA optimization flows.
  • Proficient in scripting languages such as TCL, Perl, or Python.
  • Minimum 10 years of relevant experience in ASIC implementation.
  • Expertise in all aspects of ASIC implementation including synthesis, DFT insertion, floorplanning, and place-and-route.
  • Strong background in hierarchical design approach for large GPU designs (>20M gates).
  • Proven ability to work cross-functionally to drive physical implementations for world-class products.
