About the role
This role involves owning RTL to GDS physical implementation flows for high-performance designs from block level to system level components. The focus is on software-driven, unified fabric solutions for single-die and multi-die systems.
What you'll do
- Own RTL to GDS physical implementation flows for synthesis, floor-planning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, timing & power closure, EM/IR, PDV and final PD sign off.
- Own physical design & implementation of high-performance designs from block level to system level components.
- Collaborate with Micro-architects to explore performance, power and area trade-offs for high performance and low power designs.
- Develop methodologies and recipes for various stages of physical implementation.
- Perform various physical design validation (PDV) flows for Timing, Power, EM/IR, etc.
- Perform design rule checking (DRC) and layout versus schematic (LVS) checks.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related degree.
- 5 years of experience in floor planning, physical design validation, clock trees, physical design flow automation, ICC, and SoC Architecture.
- Experience with RTL to GDS physical implementation flows.
- Experience with synthesis, floor-planning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, timing & power closure, EM/IR, PDV and final PD sign off.
- Experience with physical design and implementation of high-performance designs.
- Experience with physical design validation flows for Timing, Power, EM/IR, etc., and design rule checking (DRC) and layout versus schematic (LVS) checks.
