Physical Design Engineer

A Physical Design Engineer at OpenAI focuses on the physical implementation of custom silicon for AI accelerators, developing tools and methodologies to optimize power, performance, and area (PPA) of datapath and interconnect solutions. This individual contributor role collaborates with RTL designers to drive implementation strategies, ensuring efficient block design from floorplanning to final signoff while optimizing design trade-offs with EDA vendors. Candidates should have a strong background in physical design, experience with complex silicon tapeouts, and proficiency in programming languages such as Python, TCL, and Bazel.
