You will work closely with the FE team to understand chip engineering and drive physical aspects from the get-go in the design cycle. You will also work with the physical design team to drive methodologies and "best-in-class" techniques to streamline physical design work, develop rules and agendas, drive execution, and track progress.
Key Responsibilities
- Execute total chip design from netlist to tapeout, including floorplanning, clock and power delivery, global signal preparation, I/O planning, and hard IP integration
- Work with the FE team to understand chip engineering and drive physical aspects from the get-go in the design cycle
- Work with the physical design team to drive methodologies and "best-in-class" techniques to streamline physical design work, develop rules and agendas, drive execution, and track progress
- Be a point of contact for spot and route, drive the work among spot and route designers, set goals and milestones, plan short and long-term work, and understand dependencies between various domains like top, STA, block spot, and route
- Resolve design and flow issues connected with physical design, identify potential solutions, and drive execution
Essential Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 2+ years of relevant industry experience in SoC physical design
- Knowledge of ASIC integration, including floorplanning, clock and power delivery, global signal preparation, I/O planning, and hard IP integration
- Experience with common SoC issues like multiple voltage and clock domains, ESD techniques, mixed-signal block integration, and package connections
- Familiarity with a hierarchical design approach, timing, and physical synthesis
- Experience integrating IP from both internal and external vendors and specifying and driving IP requirements in the physical domain
- Experience with large SoC designs (>20M gates) with frequencies in excess of 1GHz using advanced sub-45nm technologies
- Detailed understanding of database management issues
- Familiarity with CAD tools, including floorplanning tools, P&R flows, global timing check, and physical design verification flows
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Design for Yield and Manufacturability, multi-Vt techniques, and thermal management
- Familiarity with scripting languages like Python, Perl, or Tcl
- Experience with agile design methodologies and version control systems like Git
