Physical Design Engineer - Intern

The Programme

As part of the Physical Design team at Ampere, you will be responsible for ASIC physical design and implementation on our cutting edge ARMv8 based server on chip solutions that will be the backbone of future data centers.  
 
You will be interacting on a daily basis with our design team worldwide and will work on the latest technology nodes available in the industry. You will have an opportunity to work collaboratively with and learn from veteran industry designers and architects to create a breakthrough design for cloud computing. 
 
Our Physical Design Engineer will work with multi-functional global teams to implement Partition/Block level Constraint development, Synthesis, Floorplan, Place and Route, Timing closure, LEC, IR/EM and DRC/LVS closure for our next generation highly complex 3nm/5nm/7nm/advanced-node Server class Processor products. 
 
What the Physical Design Team wants you to know: 
 
Being a Physical Design Engineer at Ampere® is interesting, challenging, and will expand your professional breadth.  
 
You will learn how a world-class design team develop their microprocessor using Ampere® Arm®-based platform plus our in-house and 3rd party IP portfolio. Also, you will understand the pressure of being the team leader in the market, that pushes us to solve technical problems, and deliver products on time.  
 
The experience at Ampere® that you will possess will be valuable for your career path.
