Description
• Collaborate with FE team to understand chip architecture and drive physical aspects early in design cycle. • Drive innovation with the physical design team, developing methodologies and “best known methods” to enable best-in-class GPU design.• Develop PD guidelines and checklists, drive execution, and supervise progress. Be the focal point for place and route integration at the top level.• Drive the work among PnR engineers to set goals, plan short and long-term work comprehending dependencies between different domains like top, STA, block place and route. • Communicate and drive the needs of PD with multi-functional teams that will enable achieving the goals of the back-end design for the project.• Reach new career highs as you resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions and drive execution. • If you are a confident problem solver who thrives under pressure to find new, creative solutions, we are excited to hear from you!
Key Qualifications
- Deep experience with all aspects of ASIC integration including Floorplanning, Clock and Power distribution, global signal planning, I/O planning and hard IP integration.
- Deep knowledge of GPU issues such as multiple voltage and clock domains, ESD strategies, mixed signal block integration, and package interactions.
- Familiar with hierarchical design approach, top-down design, budgeting, timing, and physical convergence.
- Depth of expertise on integrating IP from both internal and external vendors and able to specify and drive IP requirements in the physical domain.
- Experience with large subsystem designs (>20M gates) with frequencies in excess of 1GHz applying brand new technologies.
- Familiar with various process related design issues including design for yield and manufacturability, multi Vt strategies and thermal Mgt.
- Experience in technical project leadership and generating results that have had impact on project completion and objectives.
- Track record of applying creative thinking to strategically solve problems that have impact for a project, group, or organization.
- Consistent track record in solving complex PD and multi-functional problems, driving results directly and/or leading a team of engineers to innovate and execute on extraordinary GPU designs.
