APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various unanticipated locations throughout the USA. Work with the logic design team to understand partition architecture and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle. Complete netlist to GDS2 implementation for partition(s) meeting schedule and design goals. Perform timing, physical & electrical verification and drive the signoff closure for the partitions. Resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions, and drive execution. Drive netlist to GDSII implementation for partition(s) meeting schedule and design goals. Work closely with the front-end/logic team to understand partition architecture and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle. Build partition level floor plan including pin placement, macro placement, and power grid. Perform block-level place and route and close the design to meet timing, area, and power constraints. Develop and validate high-performance low-power clock network guidelines. Generate and implement ECOs to fix timing using Static Timing Analysis (STA) through leakage and parasitic extraction. Improve signal integrity by reducing the effect of noise and resolving EM IR violations. Run the Physical design verification flow at the block level and fix LVS/DRC violations to meet the design requirements. Drive sign-off closure for the partition to meet design-specific requirements. Resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions, and drive execution. Participate in establishing CAD and Physical Design Methodologies for correct by construction designs. 40 hours/week.
