Job Description & Skill Requirement

The role requires individuals with experience in backend implementation from Netlist to GDSII in low power and high-performance designs to build efficient System on Chip (SoC) and IP for data center applications.

  • Block level floorplanning and physical design activities for one or more blocks.
  • Block level physical design includes floorplan, power plan, placement, CTS, timing analysis, and route optimization.
  • Signoff timing and physical verification closure.
  • As part of the block level implementation, you will need to ensure the floorplan is optimal, congestion issues are resolved, and timing is under control at every stage from synthesis, placement, CTS, and route stages.
  • Signoff tasks include Timing closure with crosstalk and OCV under Multi-Mode
  • Multi-corner conditions, Noise signoff, Physical verification including LVS, DRC, Antenna, and IR closure.
  • Flow development / automation

Qualification

  • Minimum Qualifications
  • Hands-on tape-out experience performing timing and physical verification closure on 5nm FinFET TSMC process or similar / lower technology nodes
  • Hands-on experience with block level physical design (Floorplanning to GDSII)
  • Experience with SoC level integration (multiple blocks, SoC floorplan, clocking, and timing analysis) preferred
  • Expertise in Cadence (Innovus) P&R, Synopsys PrimeTime / StarRC / ICV, Ansys Redhawk, and Mentor Graphics Caliber EDA tools
  • Proficiency in scripting languages, such as Makefiles, Tcl, Unix Shell, Python
