AppsSemiconductorSoftware
Responsibilities
Lead physical design for a novel silicon-based computing architecture through tape-out and iteration
Implement full chip and layout blocks. Procure and integrate IP
Own and evolve the physical design flow end to end, including tool selection, methodology definition, automation, and continuous improvement
Translate unconventional architectural and circuit concepts into robust, manufacturable layouts, making tradeoffs across PPA and feasibility
Drive floorplanning, power delivery, clocking, and implementation
Partner with architecture, circuit, modeling, and systems teams to co-design hardware and physical implementation
Develop custom scripts, checks, and analysis tools (Tcl/Python or similar) to enable rapid experimentation and design space exploration
Act as a technical leader in a fast-moving startup environment, mentoring others and helping shape long-term silicon and methodology strategy
Qualification
Required
Experience working on AI accelerators, novel or non-traditional computing architectures
Background that blends research and production (e.g., research tape-outs, internal tools, early-node or first-of-kind silicon)
Evidence of first-principles thinking in physical design, rather than reliance on established flows
Contributions to flow development, methodology papers, internal tools, or open-source EDA/software projects
Experience in startup environments or small, high-ownership teams
Comfort collaborating across disciplines (architecture, circuits, modeling, systems, or packaging)
Demonstrated mentorship or technical leadership beyond individual contribution
Preferred
7+ years of experience in silicon physical design, or equivalent depth demonstrated through complex tape-outs, research prototypes, or unconventional design work
Proven ownership of physical design flows and methodologies, beyond execution within an existing flow
Strong hands-on experience with place & route, timing closure, and physical signoff, even when constraints or architectures are non-standard
Proficiency in scripting and automation (Tcl, Python, or similar) to build and evolve custom PD flows
Ability to operate independently in an ambiguous, fast-moving R&D environment and drive work from concept to silicon
