About The Position

As a Senior Staff Physical Design Feasibility Engineer, you will play a crucial role in driving the overall performance, power, and area (PPA) of complex ASIC and interposer designs, focusing on ensuring their feasibility and success from initial floor planning through to tape-out and sign-off. This senior-level position involves providing technical leadership, collaborating across teams, and optimizing and validating GPU design modifications to meet critical timing, power, area, and reliability targets, all of which present exciting technical challenges. You are highly skilled at testing various features and design modifications. You enjoy ensuring frequency, power, and area requirements meet or exceed expectations. You are a self-motivated problem solver who excels at conducting physical design builds to validate design changes. You are a lifelong learner driven by the boundless opportunities, with a keen understanding of the SoC/ASIC design flow using the latest industry-standard placement and routing tools. You are an expert in block-level floor planning and PPA (power, performance, area) optimization.
