Do you love creating elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Do you
intrinsically see the importance in every detail? As part of our Silicon
Technologies group, you’ll help design and manufacture our next-generation,
high-performance, power-efficient GPU. You’ll ensure Apple products and services
can seamlessly and expertly handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions.
Joining this group means you’ll be crafting and building the technology that
fuels Apple’s devices. Together, we enable our customers to do all the things
they love with their devices. This role requires a mix of strategic engineering
along with hands-on, technical work. You will be responsible for implementing
complete chip design from netlist to tapeout.
You will have hands on experience
in physical design and large chip integration. Join us!
DESCRIPTION
As a GPU Top Level Physical Design engineer, you will collaborate with FE team
to understand RTL and drive physical aspects early in design cycle. You will
drive innovation with the physical design team, as you develop methodologies and
“best known methods” that will enable best-in-class GPU design. You will develop
PD guidelines and checklists, drive execution, and supervise progress. Be the
focal point for place and route integration at the top level.
You will need to
communicate and drive the needs of PD with cross-functional teams that will
enable achieving the goals of the back-end design for the project.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Minimum of BSc/MSc in EE and some relevant experience. Familiar with ASIC
integration including Floorplanning, Clock and Power distribution, global signal
planning, I/O planning and hard IP integration.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience integrating IP from both internal and external vendors and be able to
specify and drive IP requirements in the 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 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 Mgt. Proven track record
in solving complex PD and cross functional problems, driving results directly
and or directing a team of engineers to innovate and execute on world class
designs. Understanding of GPU architecture and design units. Experience with
hierarchical design approach, top-down design, budgeting, timing and physical
convergence. Experience with Floorplanning tools, P&R flows, global timing
verification and Physical Design Verification Flows.
