Jobs at Positron AI

Contribute to physical implementation of AI accelerator ASICs from floorplanning and macro placement through tapeout. Responsibilities include clock tree synthesis, place and route, timing, power, signal integrity, IR/EM, DRC, LVS, congestion, ECOs, metal fill, and signoff closure. The role also supports implementation methodology, advanced-node tapeouts, AI-enabled QoR analysis, and collaboration with RTL, synthesis, DFT, package, and backend teams.

Lead architecture and performance exploration for next-generation AI inference accelerators. Build analytical models and simulation frameworks, define subsystem interfaces and roadmaps, and drive hardware/software co-design with compiler, runtime, ML, and silicon teams to optimize latency, throughput, memory, interconnects, power, and cost for evolving LLMs and transformer-based workloads.

Lead synthesis, timing convergence, and implementation readiness for AI accelerators. Own synthesis flows, SDC constraints, timing closure, physical-aware optimization, vendor coordination, and apply automation/AI to improve QoR and timing debug across multi-million-gate designs.

Lead power architecture, modeling, optimization, and verification for AI accelerators. Develop lifecycle power models, drive low-power techniques (clock/power gating, voltage islands), own UPF/CPF flows and power-aware verification, partner with cross-functional teams on power integrity and silicon validation, and apply AI tools to improve power analysis and anomaly detection.
