Senior Staff Engineer, R&D Engineering (Fusion Compiler GPU Acceleration)
SynopsysJob Title
Senior Staff Engineer, R&D Engineering (Fusion Compiler GPU Acceleration)
Role Summary
Lead design and implementation of GPU-accelerated capabilities for Synopsys' Fusion Compiler digital implementation flow. The role focuses on enabling GPU acceleration across the R2G (register-to-gate) engines — including placement, global/detail routing, CTS, optimization, timing, extraction, legalizer and synthesis — and delivering end-to-end production-quality features.
The engineer will own projects from requirements and design through development, testing, and customer engagement, collaborate with product and cross-functional teams, and mentor other engineers to raise the team's technical capability.
Experience Level
Senior — typically 6–8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, preferably in EDA or semiconductor domains.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include technical leadership, architecture, development, and delivery of GPU-accelerated EDA solutions.
- Design and implement GPU acceleration for multiple engines in the R2G flow (placement, global routing, detail routing, CTS, optimization, timing, extraction, legalizer, synthesis).
- Formulate problems to exploit GPU architectures and implement performant, scalable solutions.
- Own projects end-to-end: gather requirements, produce design specifications, develop, test, and interact with customers for feedback and support.
- Collaborate with product management and product engineering to shape feature priorities and roadmaps.
- Mentor engineers, promote best practices, and elevate team technical excellence.
- Deliver measurable performance improvements to reduce flow cycle times and accelerate customer design cycles.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience, plus desirable additions.
- Must-have: 6–8+ years developing software projects, preferably in EDA or semiconductor domains.
- Must-have: Expert proficiency in C/C++ with a track record of delivering robust, scalable software.
- Must-have: Experience with physical design flows, specifically placement and routing.
- Must-have: Strong software architecture skills, familiarity with design patterns and Design Thinking.
- Must-have: Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical interactions and customer engagement.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with CUDA, GPU acceleration techniques, and GPU architecture knowledge.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
