Join our team as a Physical Design Engineer! We are looking for a highly skilled professional with a strong background in semiconductor design and a minimum of 7 years of experience. As a Physical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for implementing designs through synthesis, floorplanning, place and route, and physical verification. You will also work closely with the RTL team to resolve design issues and optimize blocks for power, performance, and area. If you have excellent communication and teamwork skills, along with expertise in EDA tools and PD methodology, apply now!

Job description 

Qualifications

Required:

  • BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering
  • 7+ years of experience in semiconductor design.
  • Great communication, collaboration and teamwork skills and ability to contribute to diverse and inclusive teams.
  • Proven track record of implementing designs through synthesis, floorplanning, place and route, extraction, timing, and physical verification.

 Preffered:

  • Large SoC/CPU/IP design tape-out experience in the latest foundry process nodes.
  • Excellent project management skills and ability to juggle multiple projects at once.
  • Strong understanding of constraints generation, STA, timing optimization, and timing closure.
  • In-depth understanding of design tradeoffs for power, performance, and area.
  • Hands on experience with CTS and global clock distribution methods in multi-voltage, multi-clock, multi-domain, and low power designs.
  • Experience in EDA tools such as Primetime, StarRC, Design Compiler, ICC, Fusion Compiler, Innovus etc.
  • Experience and knowledge of formal equivalency checks, LEC, LP, UPF, reliability, SI, and Noise.
  • Exposure and some hands-on experience with PD flows bring up/setup/flow flush, overall know how of PD-TFM and PD methodology is a big plus
  • Strong problem-solving and data analysis skills
  • Automation skills using scripting languages such as Perl, TCL, or Python.

Responsibilities

In this high impact role on the team, you will be responsible to: 

 

  • Demonstrate technical expertise in all aspects of Physical Design, from synthesis to place and route of partitions through all signoff including timing signoff, physical verification, EMIR signoff , Formal Equivalence, and Low Power Verification.
  • Own complete PD execution of Sub-systems/Sub-chips instantiating multiple other Physical partitions.
  • Own partition floorplanning for optimizing blocks for Power, Performance and Area.
  • Have close collaboration with RTL team to help drive and resolve design issues related to block closure.
  • Understand tools, flows, and overall design methodology in design construction, signoff, and optimization with a data driven approach.
  • Implement robust clock distribution solutions using appropriate methods that meet design requirements.
  • Make good independent technical trade-offs between power, area, and timing (PPA).
  • Be able to guide and coordinate with all sub-partitions PD to be able to take the Sub-chip through PD (construction through signoff) closure.
  • Additionally flow flush PD TFM on few design partitions for early identification of any design PD flow issues before every PD TFM release is proliferated and deployed across all partitions/subchips for PD execution.
  • Partner closely with PD flow/CAD team and PD methodology team to flag & fix PD TFM issues upfront and ensure those are fixed in the next PD TFM release from CAD or are updated in the design project layer (as appropriate).
