- Extensive experience with physical-design processes and RTL-to-GDS automation tools
- Understanding of die-to-package relationships
- Experience leading physical design
- Experience extracting design parameters, summarizing QoR, and analyzing QoR trends
Responsibilities
- Implement RTL-to-GDS physical designs for optimal PPA
- Perform floorplanning, power planning, and hard-macro placement
- Optimize block partitioning for turnaround time and quality
- Perform placement, clock-tree synthesis, and routing optimization
- Check and fix DRC, DFM, IR-drop, and electromigration violations
- Perform LVS and PERC checks and deliver GDS
- Propose architectural changes to improve physical-design QoR
- Support DSPs and contractors within turnaround-time targets
