Yesterday
- Drive outstanding PD construction and optimization recipes for performance, power and Area (PPA).- Work on pioneering designs in the latest technology nodes.- Drive the work among place and route engineers, set goals and breakthroughs, plan short and long-term work, understand dependencies between different domains like top, STA, block PnR.- Lead and resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions and drive execution.
  • BS + 3 years of relevant experience.
  • Experience floorplanning partitions, conducting route and placement flow experiments, and reviewing static timing and physical design verification flow results.
  • We value ability in all aspects of ASIC implementation including Synthesis, DFT insertion, Floorplanning, Clock and Power distribution, Place and Route and all aspects of timing, electrical and physical signoff.
  • Work with FE teams to understand the design architecture to drive optimal floorplanning and physical implementation through early RTL feedback.
  • Use design knowledge and innovative physical construction and optimization flows to push performance, power, and Area (PPA) of GPU designs.
  • Experience with multi-voltage, power gated, and power retention will be an advantage.
  • Practical knowledge with hierarchical design approach, top-down design, budgeting, timing, and physical convergence will be an asset.
  • Experience on integrating IP from both internal and external vendors and able to specify and drive IP requirements in the physical domain.
  • Depth of expertise with large GPU 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 management.
