About the Job


As a Senior SoC/ASIC Physical design Engineer, you will work on developing and implementing flow and methodologies and the physical implementation to optimize the design for performance, power efficiency, and area.



Responsibilities

  • Perform partition synthesis and physical implementation steps (e.g. synthesis, floorplanning, power/ground grid generation, place and route, timing, noise, physical verification, electromigration, voltage drop, logic equivalency and other signoff checks)
  • Develop/improve physical design methodologies and automation scripts for various implementation steps
  • Closely collaborate with the ASIC design team to drive architectural feasibility studies, develop timing, power and area design targets, and explore RTL/design tradeoffs
  • Resolve design/timing/congestion and flow issues, identify potential solutions and drive execution
  • Run, debug, and fix signoff closure issues in static timing analysis (STA), noise, logic equivalency, physical verification, electromigration and voltage drop



Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or computer science

  • 10+ years of ASIC and/or physical design flow development experience
  • Experience with ASIC physical design, physical design flows and methodologies (i.e., synthesis, place and route, STA, formal verification, CDC or power analysis using industry standard tools).
  • Scripting experience with Python, Tcl, or Perl
  • Experience in extraction of design parameters, QOR metrics, analyzing trends, voltage scaling (SVS, DVFS), and SRAM split rail implementation.
  • Strong experience in ASIC/SOC RTL2GDSII physical design and signoff flows
  • Strong experience with Synopsys EDA tools including understanding of their capabilities and underlying algorithms
  • Strong knowledge of deep sub-micron FinFET and CMOS solid state physics
  • Strong knowledge of CMOS digital design principles, basic standard cells their functionality, standard cell libraries
  • Deep understanding of CMOS power dissipation in deep submicron processes leakage/dynamic
  • Familiar with CMOS analog circuit and physical design
  • Knowledge of DFT/Scan/MBIST/LBIST and understanding of their impact on physical design flows
  • Good scripting skills (csh/bash, Perl, Python, TCL, Makefile etc.)
  • Self-driven individual with a can-do attitude, willing to learn, and an ability to work in a dynamic group environment
