GPU Physical Design Engineer

What you'll do

• 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.
• Proficiency in TCL, Perl, or Python scripting.
• Expertise in ASIC implementation including Synthesis, DFT insertion, Floorplanning, Clock/Power distribution, and Place and Route.
• Experience with large GPU designs exceeding 20M gates at frequencies over 1GHz on new technology nodes.
• Knowledge of multi-voltage, power gated, power retention, and thermal management strategies.
• Experience integrating internal and external vendor IPs into the physical domain.
• Ability to create and analyze floorplanning tools, P&R flows, and Physical Design Verification flows.
