About the Role

You will synthesize, place, and route high-speed designs and integrate physical-design blocks into full-chip architecture. You will drive timing closure, physical verification, power-performance-area optimization, IR/EM analysis, floorplanning, and design-flow improvements with RTL engineers.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of physical design and physical verification experience
  • Knowledge of block-level and full-chip physical-verification methodology
  • Experience with block or subsystem timing closure
  • Experience with the complete physical-design flow
  • Expertise with ICV or Calibre for DRC and LVS resolution
  • Expertise with IR and EM analysis
  • Background in STA, constraint drafting, and timing convergence
  • Understanding of full-chip floorplanning and integration
  • Scripting ability in Tcl and Python
  • Experience with Design Compiler, Fusion Compiler, ICC2, or similar tools
  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering

Responsibilities

  • Synthesize, place, and route high-speed designs
  • Integrate physical-design blocks into full-chip architecture
  • Perform block-level and full-chip physical verification
  • Drive timing closure across blocks, partitions, and full chip
  • Optimize power, performance, and area
  • Resolve DRC and LVS issues
  • Perform IR and EM analysis and resolution
  • Draft constraints and drive timing convergence
  • Support full-chip floorplanning and integration
  • Enhance design flows using Tcl and Python
  • Work with RTL teams to optimize physical design
