In this unique role, you’ll have the opportunity to work on both the physical design and methodology for future designs of our next-generation, high-performance processor chips in a leading-edge CMOS process technology, targeted at server, 5G/6G, data center, and networking applications.What You Can Expect
As a Senior Staff Physical Design Engineer (PnR), you will be part of our Implementation team and responsible for running/supporting/maintaining the PnR Flow using industry standard EDA tools for designing the next generation Multi-Ghz high-performance ASIC chips in leading-edge CMOS process technology.
Work with design teams across various disciplines such as Digital/RTL/Analog in helping them take their blocks (custom, PnR) through the physical design flow and making sure all the blocks meet timing requirements.
Implement/Support blocks with multi-voltage designs through all aspects of RTL to GDS Implementation (Place and Route, static timing, physical verification) using industry standard EDA tools.
Work with physical verification team in integrating these blocks seamlessly into full chip partitions. Have a good understanding of global integration and full chip physical verification.
Provide technical direction, coaching, and mentoring to employees on the team and others when necessary to achieve successful project outcomes.
Writing scripts in TCL and Perl to achieve productivity enhancements through automation is required.
HandsOn experience with Bump planning and routing is required.
Hands on experience and a solid understanding in all of the following physical design flows and methodologies: Synthesis/PnR, power/EM/IR analysis, power intent (UPF/CLP).
What We're Looking For
BSEE or MS with 9+ years of experience running an industry standard EDA tool for PnR & signoff.
Understanding of several timing-related concepts is required: setup, hold, clocking, timing corners, timing constraints, noise, and process variation .
Experience in tape-outs of high performance SOC is required.
Physical design knowledge, from netlist handoff to GDS tape out including floor planning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, timing closure and physical verification.
Work with logic verification, and design teams to understand and implement the design requirements for clocking and power management.
Knowledge of scripting languages such as Perl/TCL is required.
