GPU Physical Design Engineer (Senior/Lead)

Overview

Drive implementation and physical signoff of next-generation high-performance GPU designs, collaborating closely with RTL, STA, DFT, Power and SoC teams to achieve aggressive PPA targets and successful tapeouts.

What you'll do

• Carry out physical implementation of high-performance GPU cores, including floor-planning, place and route, CTS, formal verification, physical verification (DRC/LVS), PDN, timing closure and power optimization.
• Make PPA trade-off decisions for PPA-critical cores.
• Drive timing convergence of high-frequency, data-path-intensive cores using advanced STA concepts.
• Run block-level PnR convergence with Synopsys ICC2 / Cadence Innovus and timing convergence in PrimeTime SI / Tempus in the latest technology nodes.
• Work in close collaboration with design, DFT and PNR teams to resolve constraints validation, verification, STA and physical design issues.
• Handle technical deliverables with a small team of engineers and work towards project milestones and deadlines.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience, OR Master's degree in a related field and 3+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience, OR PhD in a related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
• Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering from a reputed institution.
• 3+ years of experience in Physical Design/Implementation.
• Good exposure to PD implementation of PPA-critical cores and making right PPA trade-off decisions.
• Strong expertise in timing convergence of high-frequency data-path-intensive cores and advanced STA concepts.
• Well versed with block-level PnR convergence with Synopsys ICC2 / Cadence Innovus and timing convergence in PTSI / Tempus in latest technology nodes.
• Good understanding of clocking architecture.
• Well versed with Tcl/Perl scripting.
• Experience working as part of a larger team and towards project milestones and deadlines.
• Strong problem-solving skills and good communication skills.
