Job Details
Performs physical design implementation of custom CPU designs from RTL to GDS to create a design database that is ready for manufacturing.
Conducts all aspects of the CPU physical design flow including synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, floor planning, static timing analysis, power/clock distribution, reliability, and power and noise analysis.
Conducts verification and signoff including formal equivalence verification, static timing analysis, reliability verification, static and dynamic power integrity, layout verification, electrical rule checking, and structural design checking. Analyzes results and makes recommendations to improve current and future CPU microarchitectures closely collaborating with logic, circuit, architecture, and design automation teams.
Possesses CPU specific expertise in various aspects of structural and physical design, including physical clock design, timing closure, coverage analysis, multiple power domain analysis, structured placement, routing, synthesis, and DFT.
Works intimately with industry EDA vendors to build and enhance tool capabilities to design a high‑speed, low‑power synthesizable CPU.
Optimizes CPU design to improve product‑level parameters such as power, frequency, and area. Participates in the development and improvement of physical design methodologies and flow automation.
Qualifications Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a STEM related field with 3+ years of relevant work experience.
-OR-
Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a STEM related field with 2+ years of relevant work experience.
-OR-
PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a STEM related field.
Relevant experience should include the following:
Experience with integrated circuit design tools (e.g., Synopsys/Cadence), including logic synthesis, place and route, static timing analysis, and design closure.
PV convergence (including static timing and power analysis).
Chip physical design verification including formal equivalence, timing, electrical rules, DRC/LVS, noise, and electro‑migration checks.
Scripting in an interpreted language, minimum TCL in addition to at least one other (e.g., Perl, Python, Ruby).
Demonstrated success in one or more of the following areas: synthesis of a digital logic block, which was integrated into a large SoC or IP.
Preferred Qualifications
2+ years of industry experience/exposure with CPU micro‑architecture.
Experience with physical design best practices concerning floor‑planning, routing techniques, and clock distribution.
Experience with static timing analysis, noise analysis, and reliability verification techniques.
Experience with RTL‑to‑GDS methodologies and formal equivalence.
Experience with Synopsys tool suite (Fusion Compiler, ICC2, PrimeTime) or Cadence (Genus/Innovus).
Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and/or schoolwork/classes/research.
