GPU Physical Design Engineer

What you'll do

• Implement complete chip designs from RTL through tapeout.
• Drive physical design construction and optimization recipes for performance, power, and area (PPA).
• Work with the FE team to integrate chip architecture into early design cycles.
• Develop methodologies and "best known methods" to streamline physical design workflows.
• Manage place and route engineers by setting goals and planning project dependencies.
• Resolve complex design and flow issues related to physical design.
• Execute pioneering designs on the latest technology nodes.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Computer Science is required.
• A Master's degree is preferred.
• Experience or coursework in physical design, synthesis, DFT, or clocking is required.
• Experience or coursework with digital logic design, RTL, CMOS transistor logics, or VLSI concepts is required.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as TCL, Python, Perl, or shell scripting is required.
• Experience with EDA tools and exposure to their APIs is preferred.
• Knowledge of multi-voltage, power gated, and power retention concepts is an advantage.
• Practical knowledge of hierarchical design, top-down design, budgeting, timing, and physical convergence is an asset.
