Sr. SOC/ASIC Physical Design Engineer (Silicon Engineering)

At SpaceX, we're pushing the boundaries of space technology and innovation. As a Sr. SOC/ASIC Physical Design Engineer, you'll play a critical role in developing cutting-edge silicon solutions for our Starlink satellite constellation and other space-related projects.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Perform partition synthesis and physical implementation steps, including synthesis, floorplanning, power/ground grid generation, place and route, timing, noise, physical verification, electromigration, voltage drop, and logic equivalency checks.
  • Develop and 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.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science.
  • 5+ years of ASIC and/or physical design flow development experience in industry.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
  • Strong experience in ASIC/SOC RTL2GDSII physical design and signoff flows.
  • Strong experience with industry-standard EDA tools, including understanding of their capabilities and underlying algorithms.
  • Knowledge of deep sub-micron FinFET and CMOS solid-state physics.
  • Knowledge of CMOS digital design principles, basic standard cells, their functionality, and standard cell libraries.
  • 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.).
Additional Requirements:
  • Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
Compensation and Benefits:

Base salary: $160,000.00 - $220,000.00 per year. Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks.

You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation & will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Exempt employees are eligible for 5 days of sick leave per year.
