Engineer with a good attitude, strong analytical skills, effective communication, and excellent problem-solving abilities.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES :
- Own critical CPU units and drive to convergence from RTL-to-GDSII - synthesis, floor-planning, place and route, timing closure, and signoff
- Understand the micro-architecture to perform feasibility studies on performance, power, and area (PPA) tradeoffs for design closure.
- Develop and improve physical design methodologies and customize recipes across various implementation steps to optimize PPA.
- Implement floor plan, synthesis, placement, CTS, Timing Closure, Routing, Extraction, Physical Verification (DRC & LVS), EM / IR and signoff.
- Handling different PNR tools - Synopsys fusion compiler, Cadence, PrimeTime, StarRC, Calibre, Apache Redhawk
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE :
12+ years of professional experience in physical design, preferably with high-performance designs.Must have closed high-performance IPs- CPU / GPU / DPU / memory controller, etcStrong experience with tools for logic synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and design checks for physical and electrical quality; familiarity with tools for schematics, layout, and circuit / logic simulationVersatility with scripts to automate design flow - Perl / Tcl / PythonStrong communication skills, ability to multi-task across projects, and work with geographically spread out teamsExperience in advanced sub 7nm nodesExcellent physical design and timing background.A good understanding of computer architecture is preferred.Strong analytical / problem-solving skills and pronounced attention to detail.Skills Required
