Job Description:

As a Principal Physical Design SoC Lead, you will be responsible for design and implementation of a significant portion of a custom Xeon SoC. Your role will be to plan and lead cluster and partition development from RTL to TI-ready GDS. You will work closely with silicon architects, RTL design engineers, internal/external IP vendors, and DFT/DFD teams, getting exposure to all aspects of product development. This role requires strong partnership between you and SoC Physical Design Manager to drive execution through deep technical understanding and ability to highlight critical challenges. You will also be responsible for working with and leading a team of more junior engineers in executing partitions within the same cluster. You will be expected to strongly contribute to methodology and flow definition used across the physical design team in order to enable the team to meet project schedules.

You will drive all aspects of the physical design flow, including:

• Floorplanning, synthesis, place and route, and clock tree synthesis

• Static timing analysis, power and clock distribution, and noise analysis

• Design closure and sign-off for TI, including:

  • Formal equivalence verification

  • Convergence to power and performance goals

  • Reliability verification

  • Layout verification / DRC

  • Electrical rule checking

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan the physical implementation of a logical SoC cluster
