Job Summary
We seek talented Silicon Physical Design Engineers to enhance our already outstanding team. We have multiple roles available, focusing on candidates with a broad spectrum of skills and experience; however, we will also consider exceptional candidates with less experience. We value collaboration and proactive teamwork, encouraging individuals to work together to achieve our objectives and develop effective engineering solutions. Strong communication skills and adaptability are essential, as we prioritize character traits over specific experience.
For the right candidate, we provide an open, transparent, and collaborative environment where you will work on cutting-edge designs at the most advanced technology nodes. Our engineers work collaboratively, taking ownership of their designs and problem-solving strategies. You will be part of a team that continuously seeks to enhance all aspects of our work: designs, flows, methodologies, and infrastructure.
The Team
The Physical Design Team operates within the broader Silicon Design Team, which includes RTL, verification, and DFT, with whom we collaborate closely. Our work also involves strong partnerships with architecture, packaging, and product engineering teams. We are responsible for collaborating with these teams to create high-quality RTL and develop the final chip layout (e.g., GDSII), ensuring we deliver signoff-quality designs to the foundry (e.g., TSMC).
Responsibilities and Duties
As an applicant, you are expected to contribute technically to the development of Graphcore's next generation of AI superchips, focusing on achieving robust, high-performance, and power-efficient designs using leading-edge process technologies while adhering to ambitious development schedules. Contributions are expected to span various aspects of the design process.
