Senior GPU Top Design Engineer

Senior GPU Top Design Engineer

Cambridge, England, United Kingdom

Hardware

The Top Design team at the UK GPU Design Centre works on complex, large-scale GPU related projects. We partner with our graphics architecture, functional verification and physical design teams to deliver high quality graphics IP in order to meet performance, feature, timing, area and power goals.

Description

The GPU top design team develops micro-architecture and RTL for critical top-level infrastructure IP, and drives micro-architectural improvements across the entire GPU through our holistic system-level perspective. We own complete IP blocks including interconnects, control logic, and clocking/reset distribution. Our unique position working across the full GPU scope enables us to identify optimization opportunities that span multiple units which means our micro-architecture work can influence outside of IP that we own when we identify better system-level solutions. We handle the complete design flow for our IP from concept through physical design handoff, while also contributing to GPU-level assembly and integration.

Design clocking and reset distribution, perform CDC/RDC verification

Contribute to GPU top-level assembly/integration

Debug and analyse top-level design issues

Prepare deliverables for physical design handoff

Codeline management, supporting multiple products & chips

Review RTL implementations and mentor junior engineers

Minimum Qualifications

Expertise in design including logic synthesis

Expertise in SystemVerilog/VHDL and proficiency in revision control systems

Strong problem-solving skills, ability to work across team boundaries and be productive under aggressive schedules

Preferred Qualifications

Understanding of computer architecture and physical design

Experience with large-scale SoC or GPU design

Experience of scripting languages (for example Python/Ruby/Tcl)
