- 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.
• Constraint Development:
- Develop timing constraints for the entire chip.
- Work closely with physical design teams to ensure successful place-and-route.
• RISC Processor Conformance:
- Constrain and verify RISC processors within the chip.
- Optimize processor performance and power efficiency.
• Physical Design Collaboration:
- Collaborate with physical design teams on floorplanning, placement, and routing.
- Address any design closure issues.
• Verification Support:
- Work with verification engineers to ensure functional correctness.
- Assist in creating testbenches and verifying the chip’s functionality.
• Modern revision-control tools and best-practices in a collaborative, multi-site design community
• 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.
• Proficiency with Windows apps, incl. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Project, PDF conversion
