The ASIC Physical Design Methodology Engineer will be part of the Cloud-Scale Machine Learning Acceleration team at Annapurna Labs, focusing on the design and optimization of hardware for AWS Inferentia and Trainium Systems. This role involves developing innovative physical design and verification methodologies for machine learning accelerator chips. The engineer will work closely with various teams to enhance methodologies and efficiencies while ensuring high design quality. The position requires a strong background in ASIC implementation and a passion for advancing cloud solutions.

• 7+ years of ASIC implementation, synthesis, STA, and physical design experience in deep sub-micron nodes (16nm or smaller).
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Knowledge of implementing chips with multiple power islands and power gating.
• Experience leading or solely developing methodology and scripts for physical synthesis.
• Experience with low power design techniques.
• Experience with version control systems and CI/CD pipeline implementation.
• Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field is preferred.
• Experience in RTL coding and debug, as well as performance, power, area analysis, and trade-offs.

• Define, develop, and deploy innovative physical design and verification methodologies for ML Accelerator chips.
• Drive optimizations in CAD flows and methodologies for PPA and TAT improvements.
• Work with EDA tool vendors to evaluate new methods, resolve bugs, and improve usability.
• Fine-tune cloud infrastructure to improve compute and storage utilization for physical design work.
• Interface directly with RTL, Physical Design, Package Design, and DFT teams to improve methodologies and efficiencies.
• Independently troubleshoot digital tool flow usage and deploy solutions.
• Fluently use scripting languages such as TCL and Python to build scalable and efficient flows.
• Create dashboards and central reports for project tracking and visualizing QoR/stats.
