TL;DR · GPU Top Level Physical Design Engineer

The GPU Top Level Physical Design Engineer joins the Silicon Technologies group to design and manufacture next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient GPUs. This role involves implementing complete chip design from netlist to tapeout, focusing on large chip integration and top-level place and route integration. The engineer will collaborate with the FE team to understand RTL, develop physical design methodologies, and create guidelines and checklists. Key responsibilities include floorplanning, clock and power distribution, global signal planning, and I/O planning. Required skills include experience with Cadence or Synopsys floorplanning tools and P&R flows, global timing verification, and physical design verification flows. The role addresses complex problems like multi-voltage and clock domains, ESD solutions, mixed-signal block integration, and design for yield and manufacturability for large subsystem designs.

What you'll do

  • Implement complete chip design from netlist to tapeout.
  • Drive physical design aspects early in the design cycle by understanding RTL.
  • Develop physical design methodologies, guidelines, and best known methods for GPU design.
  • Serve as the focal point for place and route integration at the top level.
  • Manage floorplanning, clock and power distribution, and global signal planning.
  • Integrate internal and external IP while specifying physical domain requirements.
  • Address design for yield, manufacturability, multi-Vt strategies, and thermal management.
  • Perform global timing verification and physical design verification flows.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and 10 years of relevant experience.
  • Experience with ASIC integration including floorplanning, clock and power distribution, global signal planning, and I/O planning.
  • Experience with floorplanning tools and P&R flows using Cadence or Synopsys.
  • Experience with floorplanning tools, P&R flows, global timing verification, and Physical Design Verification Flows.
  • Experience with hierarchical design approach, top-down design, budgeting, timing, and physical convergence (preferred).
  • Experience integrating internal and external vendor IP and specifying physical domain requirements (preferred).
  • Experience with multiple voltage and clock domains, ESD solutions, and mixed signal block integration (preferred).
  • Experience with large subsystem designs (>20M gates) at frequencies over 1GHz using new technologies (preferred).
