    - Collaborate with system architects to define chip functionality, interfaces, and performance targets.
    - Develop detailed specifications for the chip’s components.
  2. RTL Design and Synthesis:
    - Use Synopsys Design Compiler to create RTL (Register Transfer Level) designs.
    - Optimize RTL code for area, power, and performance.
    - Implement and verify complex digital blocks.
  3. Constraint Development:
    - Develop timing constraints for the entire chip.
    - Work closely with physical design teams to ensure successful place-and-route.
  4. RISC Processor Conformance:
    - Constrain and verify RISC processors within the chip.
    - Optimize processor performance and power efficiency.
  5. Physical Design Collaboration:
    - Collaborate with physical design teams on floorplanning, placement, and routing.
    - Address any design closure issues.
  6. Verification Support:
    - Work with verification engineers to ensure functional correctness.
    - Assist in creating testbenches and verifying the chip’s functionality.
  7. Modern revision-control tools and best practices in a collaborative, multi-site design community.
  8. Proficiency with UNIX/Linux incl. shell scripting, text utilities (e.g. sed, awk, grep), using Modules, high-level programming such as C/C++, PERL/Python/TCL scripting.
  9. Proficiency with Windows apps, incl. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Project, PDF conversion.
