Senior Front End Integration - STA Engineer

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Front-end implementation from RTL to netlist, including RTL Lint, CDC / RDC analysis, timing constraints, Power Analysis, STA for Multi-Media IPs
• Run Logic / Physical Synthesis using advanced optimization techniques and generate optimized Gate Level Netlist for Timing, Area, Power.
• Run Formal Verification checks between RTL and Gate level netlist and debug the aborts, inconclusive and Logic Equivalency failures
• Debug the timing / area / congestion issues and work with RTL & Physical designers to resolve them.
• Analyze the inter-block timing and come up with IO budgets for the various partition blocks.
• Develop Timing Constraints for RTL-Synthesis and PrimeTime-STA for the blocks and the top-level including SOC.
• Perform RTL Lint and work with the Designers.
• Analyze RTL CDC / RDC and work with Designer for potential Clock and Reset Design Domain crossing issues.
• Perform RTL DFT Analysis and improve the DFT coverage for Stuck-at faults.
• Perform Power Estimation at RTL and Gate Level and identify power reduction opportunities.
• Developing Automation scripts and Methodology for all FE-tools including (Lint, CDC, RDC, Synthesis, STA, Power).
• Implementing Functional ECOs using Conformal and writing manual Ecos.
• Work with Architects, RTL Designers and SOC teams for efficient IP Quality.
