ASIC Physical Design, Sr Engineer

Seeking a highly motivated individual, with expertise in IC design and physical implementation for a group with growth opportunities.

Responsibilities include floorplanning , timing constraints, physical synthesis, formal verification, clock tree optimization, routing, extraction, timing closure, DFT, signal integrity, physical verification and DFM. The individual will contribute both on the implementation side as we'll as flow development for advanced technology nodes

The successful candidate:

- has solid engineering understanding of the underlying concepts of IC design

- has strong knowledge of the full design cycle from RTL to GDSII, including development of timing constraints

- is an expert with the implementation flows and methodologies for deep sub-micron designs

- has experience in high performance digital design and CAD, high-speed design, low-power design, high speed clock design and distribution.

- has proven experience contributing to project tape-outs.

- has experience in timing closure, signal integrity.

- has good software and scripting skills (Perl, Tcl, Python); knowledge of CAD automation methods.

- Can contribute to enhancing the best practices of the physical design flow

- Can interface with the larger product team to understand design constraints, deliverable formats, customer requirements

• 3+ years of physical design experience

• Must have hands-on experience with design of complex ASSP and COT designs
• Must also demonstrate knowledge of the Synopsys tools, flows and methodologies required to execute physical design projects
• These tools may include: Design Compiler, Physical Compiler, Primetime SI, ICC/ICC2/FC, Star-RCXT, ICV and other tools
