LOCATION: Bangalore
ONSITE: This role requires the student to work from the LOCATION office throughout the duration of the Co-op/Intern term. First time Co-ops/Interns should work full-time and onsite.
About The Department
The Physical Design team of the GPU Technologies and Engineering Group is responsible for the physical layout of next generation GPU SoCs in the most advanced fabrication nodes. The team collaborates with IP teams and other AMD functions across the globe to assemble the SoC design and ensure that it will be sent for fabrication at spec and on schedule. The designs are executed hierarchically to accommodate the large design sizes and provide reasonable turn-around time in all stages of the design flow.
The Role
The Physical Design Team Is Responsible For Following Tasks
- Floorplanning - Chip sizing; block sizing; IP placement; pad placement
- Synthesis - Synthesizing RTL inputs to generate gate level netlist
- Power Distribution - Create power grid for digital logic; analog power routing
- Clock Distribution - Clock trees and clock mesh for all clocks
- Block Place & Route - Gate level netlist to fully routed layout using industry standard tools
- Chip Place & Route - Gate level netlist to fully routed layout using industry standard tools
- Timing Closure - Static Timing Analysis of all clock domains
- EM/IR Analysis - Verification of power distribution for electro-migration and IR performance
- Physical Verification - Ensure that all design rules are met for correct and high-yield fabrication; LVS
- Tape-out - Shipment to foundry for fabrication
What You'll Be Doing
- To effectively work within a team of other Physical Design Engineers and be responsible for the Physical Design for a portion of one of our ASIC's.
- Tasks to include Chip Level Floor planning, Bus / Pin Planning, Clock Tree Synthesis, Placement, Optimization, Routing, Parasitic Extraction, Static Timing Analysis, IR drop analysis, Physical Verification and Sign Off.
