NPU AI/Processor Synthesis Engineer- Sr Staff

About the role

We are seeking a highly motivated Synthesis Engineer/Lead to join our NPU (Neural Processing Unit) design team. In this role, you will drive RTL-to-GDS synthesis and timing closure for high-performance AI/ML accelerators used in next-generation SoCs. You will work closely with Architecture, RTL Design, STA, DFT, and Physical Design teams to deliver high-quality, power-efficient silicon on advanced technology nodes.

What you'll do

• Own RTL-to-gate synthesis and timing closure for NPU IPs and subsystems
• Develop and maintain synthesis flows, constraints, and automation for complex hierarchical designs
• Drive pre-layout and post-layout timing closure across multiple modes and process corners
• Optimize designs for PPA (Performance, Power, Area) targets using physical-aware synthesis methodologies
• Create, validate, and maintain timing constraints (SDC), clock definitions, false paths, and multi-cycle paths

What you need

• 18–30 yrs of experience
• VLSI
• Python
• Travel booking
• Perl
• Machine learning
• Verilog
• B.Sc or B.Tech or B.E. or BCA or M.Sc or M.Tech or MCA
