Staff CAD Engineer – GPU / PPA / RTL-to-GDS / EDA / Methodology

Position Overview

We are collaborating with a cutting-edge technology company focused on the development of advanced GPU cores and are seeking a Staff CAD Engineer. This role is dedicated to designing and enhancing flows, methodologies, and algorithms that optimize power, performance, and area (PPA) within GPU development.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Create and enhance CAD flows, methodologies, and algorithms aimed at increasing PPA efficiency for GPU cores.
• Work in close partnership with graphics microarchitecture design and implementation teams to support GPU development.
• Maintain and improve ASIC design processes spanning from RTL to GDSII stages.
• Participate in developing methodologies specific to GPU implementation.
• Recognize and act upon opportunities to streamline flows and procedural improvements.
• Assist in managing design constraints, including power, timing, clocking, and interfaces to ensure robust implementation.
• Contribute to formal verification efforts, including RTL-to-netlist and netlist-to-netlist checks.

Qualifications and Experience

• Between 5 to 7 or more years of expertise crafting methodologies focused on PPA enhancements.
• Fundamental understanding of digital design principles and RTL development.
• Familiarity with the comprehensive ASIC design journey from RTL through to GDSII.
• Knowledge of synthesis, static timing analysis, formal verification, physical design, ECO generation, and verification processes.
• Proficiency in Verilog and SystemVerilog languages.
• Experienced in RTL synthesis employing physically aware synthesis tools.
• Skilled in managing design constraints related to power, timing, clocking, and interfaces.
• Hands-on experience in delivering GPU core implementations progressing from RTL to GDSII.
• Experience with semi-custom design flows and the development of related methodologies.
• Practical use of Synopsys Fusion Compiler, RTL Architect, PrimePower, PrimeTime, and Prime Closure tools.
