KEY RESPONSIBILITIES / PREFERRED

EXPERIENCE:

• As a Physical Design (PD) engineer, you will be working on PD execution spanning from RTL to GDS with focus on Synthesis, Floorplan, Block P&R, Clocking, Constraints, STA signoff and Physical Verification etc. as part of PD team.
• Implementing RTL to GDS2 flow
• Handling Floor-plan, Physical Implementation of Power-plan, Synthesis, Placement, CTS, Timing Closure, Routing, Extraction, Physical Verification (DRC & LVS), Crosstalk Analysis, EM/IR, Formal Equivalence
• Handling different PNR tools - Synopsys Fusion Compiler, ICC2, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, StarRC, Mentor Graphics Calibre, Apache Redhawk, Cadence Genus, Innovus.
• Tasks to include Full Chip Level Floor planning, Bus / Pin Planning, feed-thru planning, Clock Tree Synthesis, Placement, Optimization, Routing, Parasitic Extraction, Static Timing Analysis, Physical Verification and Sign Off
• Identify complex technical problems, break them down, summarize multiple possible solutions
• Drive and hands-on flow development and scripting
• Experience in automated synthesis and timing driven place and route of RTL blocks for high speed datapath and control logic applications.
• Experience in automated design flows for clock tree synthesis, clock and power gating techniques, scan stitching, design optimization for improved timing/power/area, and design cycle time reduction.
• Experience in floorplanning, establishing design methodology, IP integration, checks for logic equivalence, physical/timing/electrical quality, and final signoff for large IP delivery
• Strong experience with tools for logic synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and design checks for physical and electrical quality, familiarity with tools for schematics, layout, and circuit/logic simulation
