GPU Physical Design Engineer, STA/Timing

What you'll do

• Coordinate with RTL and architecture teams to define physical design constraints for backend flows.
• Partner with synthesis and physical design teams to optimize designs for power, performance, and timing.
• Configure DFT modes and ensure all test features are properly timed.
• Assemble top-level designs for STA by reviewing logs and reports to ensure accurate analysis.
• Develop and maintain scripts and automation tools to improve the quality of STA reports.
• Execute ECO flows to achieve final timing closure on complex GPU designs.
• Perform a full suite of signoff checks to support tapeout activities and ensure manufacturing quality.
• Collaborate with CAD teams and vendors to enhance analysis flows and integrate new features.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering required.
• Master's degree preferred.
• Experience or coursework in physical design, synthesis, DFT, or clocking.
• Experience or coursework with digital logic design, RTL, DV, CMOS transistor logics, or VLSI concepts.
• Experience with scripting languages such as TCL, Python, Perl, or shell scripting.
• Internship or prior work experience in timing closure or physical design (preferred).
• Experience working with EDA tools and exposure to their APIs (preferred).
• Exposure to advanced concepts like XALK, POCVM, ETMs, or large volume data analysis (preferred).
