- Solve extreme critical timing bottleneck paths.
- Prepare complex ECOs for timing convergence through Tweaker / Tempus / Physical PT ECOs.
- Minimize power through implementation methods.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience, OR Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience, OR PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field.
- 3 years of experience in static timing analysis, constraints and other physical implementation aspects.
- Understanding of industry standard tools PT, Tempus, GENUS, Innovus, ICC.
- Experience with deep submicron process technology nodes.
- Knowledge of high performance and low power implementation methods.
- Expertise in Perl, TCL language.
Nice to have
- Solid grip on STA fixing aspects.
- Awareness of tricks for minimizing power.
- Willingness to push PPA to the best possible extent.
