TL;DR · GPU Physical Design Engineer, STA/Timing

As a GPU Physical Design Engineer, STA/Timing within the Silicon Engineering group, you will lead timing closure activities for complex GPU designs. You will manage multiple STA tasks simultaneously, identify roadblocks early, and collaborate with Architecture, RTL, Synthesis, Clocking, DFT, and Post silicon engineering teams to ensure smooth convergence. Your daily responsibilities include defining next-generation product constraints, assembling top-level designs for accurate analysis, running ECO flows, and performing signoff checks for tapeout activities. You will also develop scripts for automation and work with CAD vendors to improve flow features. The role requires expertise in STA concepts like cross-talk, OCV, and noise, along with proficiency in TCL, Python, Perl, and shell scripting. You will utilize various EDA tools and their APIs to optimize power, performance, and area for high-performance processors.

What you'll do

  • Lead multiple concurrent Static Timing Analysis (STA) activities while working with functional collaborators.
  • Identify and resolve dependencies and roadblocks early in the design cycle to ensure smooth timing closure.
  • Define physical design constraints by collaborating with RTL and architecture teams.
  • Optimize designs for power, performance, and timing in coordination with Synthesis and Physical Design teams.
  • Configure all DFT modes and ensure all test features are properly timed.
  • Develop and maintain scripts and automation tools to improve the quality of STA reports.
  • Execute ECO flows and perform a full suite of signoff checks to support tapeout activities.
  • Collaborate with CAD teams and vendors to improve analysis flows and integrate new features.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
  • Master's degree is preferred.
  • 10 years of relevant experience in the field.
  • Experience in STA and leading timing closure efforts.
  • Knowledge of STA concepts such as cross-talk, OCV, and noise.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages including TCL, Python, Perl, or shell scripting.
  • Experience working with EDA tools and exposure to their APIs.
  • Experience with post-silicon debug and timing correlation.
