About the role

GPU Physical Verification engineer responsible for driving physical verification closure from design planning to tapeout, collaborating with the Physical Design team, and managing IP integration and verification flows for a high-performance GPU.

Responsibilities

  • Work with the Physical Design team to drive physical verification aspects in the design cycle.
  • Drive methodologies and best-known methods to streamline physical design work, develop guidelines and checklists, oversee execution, and track progress while providing physical verification support.
  • Manage and resolve design and flow issues related to physical design; identify potential solutions and drive execution.
  • Communicate and drive the needs of Physical Design Verification with cross-functional teams to enable backend design goals of the project.
  • Experience with hierarchical design approach, top-down design, budgeting, and physical convergence.
  • Experience with Physical Verification checks including Base/Metal DRC, ERC, LVS, Process ANT, PERC, and ESD.
  • Experience with P&R flows and Physical Verification tools (e.g. Calibre).
  • Graduate with BS/MS and PDV relevant experience.
  • Experience integrating IP from internal and external vendors and drive IP requirements in physical domain.
  • Experience with Physical Design topics: multiple voltage and clock domains, ESD solutions, and mixed-signal block integration.
  • Experience with large subsystem designs (>20M gates) with frequencies >1GHz using new technologies.
  • Familiar with process-related design issues including Design for Yield and Manufacturability, multi-Vt strategies, and thermal management.
  • Proven ability to solve complex PD and cross-functional problems, driving results or leading a team of engineers in world-class designs.
  • Understanding of GPU architecture and design units.
  • Experience with Floorplanning tools, P&R flows, global timing verification and Physical Design Verification Flows.
