Graphics & AI Processor Design Engineer

Job Title

Graphics & AI Processor Design Engineer

Role Summary

Work with GPU architects to design and implement next-generation graphics and AI processor features, focusing on the command processor (the GPU front-end). The role emphasizes digital design, timing closure, low-power implementation, verification coordination, and post-silicon debugging support.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Multiple years of ASIC or processor design experience (exact years not specified).

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities for the role.

• Design the command processor/front-end of the GPU pipeline for next-generation GPU and AI engines.
• Implement logic to meet performance, power, and timing requirements in collaboration with architects.
• Coordinate with verification engineers to improve RTL and functional coverage.
• Perform design rule checks and tape-out sign-off activities (e.g., LINT, CDC).
• Support post-silicon debug and investigation of silicon issues as needed.

Requirements

Must-have skills and concise preferred qualifications.

• Multiple years of related ASIC design experience with digital logic implementation.
• Strong understanding of computer organization and processor architecture.
• Experience delivering timing- and power-constrained RTL designs.
• Effective communicator and team player; able to coordinate across architects, verification, and silicon teams.
• Not eligible for visa sponsorship.
• Preferred: Familiarity with EDA/functional verification tools (VCS, Cadence, Mentor Graphics), graphics and AI domain knowledge, and prior design-lead experience.

Education Requirements

Undergraduate degree required: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
