THE ROLE: As a member of the Graphics and Engineering group, you will help bring to life cutting-edge designs related to Artificial Intelligent/ High Performance Computing SOCs .As a member of the Physical design and SOC teams, you will work closely with the architecture, IP design, RTL design, CAD, silicon technology teams and product engineers to achieve first pass silicon success.
THE PERSON: A successful candidate will work with senior silicon design engineer s. The candidate will be highly accurate and detail-oriented, possessing good communication and problem-solving skills.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Physical design and signoff methodology development for advanced nodes and High performance
Automation to improve design PPA (Power, Performance, Area) and ensure a high-quality design environment for an SOC
Full chip / sub-system/ Tile level timing analysis with bleeding edge STA methodologies
Full chip / sub system level Clock tree synthesis and advanced clock tree construction and analysis.
Block and top level Formal verification, Physical Verification and chip finishing methodologies.
Top level ECO strategy for RTL, pre-physical and post-route implementation considering timing, congestion, IRdrop and logic equivalence
Statistical and Static Timing Analysis, Variation aware analysis, stdcell Library characterization enhancements
Developing and Integrating ML and LLM applications for Physical Design and Analysis flows
Performing data analysis and identifying design trends
Customizing and implementing solutions for new challenges
Collaborating with multi-site engineering teams to reach project goals
Hands‑on in reference flows, excellent debugging skills.
Maintain and update technology collaterals
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
Experience in ASIC Physical Design and/or CAD development
Hands‑on experience with Place and Route, Timing Analysis, and Physical Verification tools from Synopsys, Cadence, like ICC2, Fusion Compiler, DSO.AI, Innovus, Cerebrus, Primetime, Primeshield, PT-PX, Formality, Conformal, RedHawk, etc.
Experience in 5nm and below technologies
Script development, scripting (TCL, Perl, Python, Pandas), ML/AI techniques
