Job Description:

Responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

You will be participating in the leading-edge System-On-a-Chip (SoC) design projects using cutting-edge process technology nodes for various client applications.
Execute complete physical design flow from RTL to GDS (synthesis, floorplan, power grid, place and route, clock tree synthesis), participating in design/architecture reviews to track design milestones.
Evaluate and improve physical design methodologies to handle increasingly complex SoC/IP designs within aggressive, market-driven schedules.
Actively work as part of a team both locally and with remote or multi-site teams.
Actively assists full chip timing constraints development, full chip Static Timing Analysis, and timing signoff for a complex, multi-clock, multi-voltage SoC.
Actively assists in full chip physical verification activities including DRC and LVS convergence & EM/IR convergence

Key Requirements:

Minimum of Bachelor's Degree in Electrical engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
Strong understanding of digital logic, VHDL/RTL representations, and Verilog.
Proficiency in Perl, TCL, and Python for CAD flow automation and optimization.
Experience with Synopsys EDA tools, including Fusion Compiler, PrimeTime, IC Validator, and VC Low‑Power.
Successful completion and/or tapeouts on advanced FinFET technology nodes (16nm, 12nm, 7nm, 5nm, 3nm), including low‑power design methodologies
Hands‑on experience with place‑and‑route (PnR) including floorplanning & clock tree synthesis (CTS), physical verification, timing convergence and IR drop analysis.
Experience in automated design flows and automated synthesis.

Additional Skills:

Hands‑on experience with full‑chip or sub‑chip Static Timing Analysis, timing constraint development, and timing closure.
Experience with advanced sign‑off activities, including Lint, CDC, LEC, scan, and ECO flows.
Experience in top‑level physical implementation.
Experience with Cadence EDA tools, including Innovus, Tempus, Virtuoso, and Conformal Low‑Power.
Experience with power analysis and power optimization techniques.
