TL;DR · Senior Engineer, GPU Front-End Integration

Senior Engineer, GPU Front-End Integration joins the GPU Project and RTL team at SARC/ACL to develop next-generation mobile GPU IPs. This mid-to-senior individual contributor role involves top-level RTL integration of complex GPU blocks and subsystems to ensure functional correctness, scalability, and architectural alignment. Key responsibilities include executing design quality checks like lint, CDC, and logical equivalence, managing memory macros and standard cell libraries, and monitoring area and timing metrics during block-level synthesis. The role requires proficiency in Verilog and SystemVerilog for RTL coding, along with experience in front-end ASIC design flows, synthesis tools, and timing analysis. Candidates should also possess scripting skills in Python, Perl, Ruby, or TCL. This work addresses performance and power targets for mobile GPUs featuring hardware ray tracing technology.

What you'll do

  • Integrate complex GPU blocks and subsystems into top-level RTL for next-generation mobile GPUs.
  • Support RTL partitioning decisions and integration strategies to ensure functional correctness and architectural alignment.
  • Execute design quality checks including lint, CDC, and logical equivalence to deliver production-quality RTL.
  • Manage memory macros, hard macros, and standard cell libraries to ensure consistency and integration robustness.
  • Perform block-level synthesis and monitor area and timing metrics to identify performance and implementation risks.
  • Develop and maintain RTL databases to support technical excellence across multiple projects.
  • Advance best practices and methodologies by staying ahead of industry trends and emerging technologies.

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in GPU, CPU, or SoC RTL integration.
  • Working understanding of front-end ASIC design flows from RTL integration through synthesis and physical design handoff.
  • Proficient in RTL coding and integration using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
  • Working understanding of synthesis tools, timing analysis, floorplanning, and PNR flow.
  • Good proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Ruby, or TCL.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills for documenting designs and methodologies.
  • Excellent collaboration skills to navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced, global team environment.
  • Understanding of ECOs and late-stage design changes (preferred).
  • Must be authorized to access information subject to U.S. export control laws.
