Physical Design Engineer

• 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 highspeed, 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:

• B.Tech with 3+ years or M.Tech with 2+ Years of hands-on experience with end-to-end SD flow - synthesis to GDS using industry standard EDA tool, with a proven track record of successful projects.
• Has good understanding on timing methodology, constraints building etc.
• Experience in floorplaning concepts and actual work, and integration of hierarchical design
• Good understanding and experience with multiple power domains designs.
• Have hands on experience on LV flow and clean up.
