Graphics FE Implementation Engineer

Join Apple's GPU FE Implementation team to optimize and deliver world-class GPUs for Apple Silicon. As a Graphics FE Implementation Engineer, you'll be responsible for crafting and building GPUs that enrich millions of lives daily. You'll work closely with RTL and PD teams, focusing on synthesis, analysis, and optimization of delivered IP. Your role involves developing advanced techniques across RTL/Synthesis/PNR to meet challenging timing, power, and area targets. Collaboration with STA and DFT partners is crucial for successful first silicon. This position offers the opportunity to shape the future of Apple Silicon by delivering best-in-class GPUs for top consumer products.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive block level synthesis and optimizations
• Improve RTL design for optimal Area, Timing, and Power
• Debug complex logic equivalence issues and validate netlist quality
• Implement ECOs for functionality and timing
• Work with reset domains, multi-clock domains, and multi-power domains (UPF)
• Develop and use scripting in ASIC flows (Python, TCL, Perl)
• Collaborate with Physical Design and Timing Analysis teams
• Analyze architectural critical paths and drive multi-block closure
• Develop and drive adoption of innovative methodologies

Required Qualifications:

• BS degree with 10+ years of relevant experience
• Extensive experience in GPU/CPU design and optimization
• Strong background in RTL design, synthesis, and physical design
• Proficiency in scripting languages for ASIC flows
• Experience with linting tools across RTL and Gate-Level

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with floor-planning, placement, congestion, and timing constraints
• Ability to solve complex problems across multiple technical domains
• Familiarity with DFT insertion and simulation/debugging tools
• Experience working on GPUs/CPUs
