  • Proven implementation of ML-based solutions
  • Familiarity with aspects of chip design including floor planning, clock and power distribution, place and route, integration, and verification
  • Strong background with hierarchical design approach, top-down design, budgeting, timing, and physical convergence
  • Solid understanding of standard industry PnR tools and analysis tools

Responsibilities

  • Develop efficient physical design methodologies for the implementation of graphics processors and SOCs
  • Create unique and creative solutions to state-of-the-art physical design problems to improve PPA
  • Participate in developing flow and tool methodologies for P&R, timing analysis and closure, and back-end verification
  • Conduct data-based analysis and algorithmic solutions for PPA check and improvement
  • Work on chip floorplan, power and clock distribution, and chip assembly
