Cisco ASIC Engineer 5+ Years Floor planning Place 

India, Karnataka, Bengaluru 

300685992

Our creative and versatile Physical Design team in Bangalore, India. As a member of this team you will be involved in creating next generation innovative networking chips in advanced process node. You will drive the backend process through the entire RTL 2 GDS Implementation flow including hierarchical floor planning, place & route, timing closure, power integrity, static timing verification, physical verification and equivalence checks, with special focus on performance & die size optimization.

• Analyzes current generation quality and efficiency gaps to identify proper incremental or evolutionary changes to the existing physical design related Tools, Flow and Methodology.
• Work closely with various teams such as physical design, RTL, DFT, tool/flow owners, and EDA vendors to improve physical design methodologies.
• Good understanding of different CTS strategies and providing the feedback to Implementation Team.
• As member of physical design team, drive methodologies and “best known methods” to streamline and automate physical design work.
• STA setup, convergence methodology, reviews and sign-off for Multi-Mode and Multi-corner designs.
• Good at Timing ECO Implementation strategy development/convergence. Should have an experience in enabling the Tweaker/Primetime based ECO flows.
• Work on Automation scripts within STA tools for Methodology development Excellent debugging skills in implementation issues and ability to produce creative solutions.
• Evaluate multiple timing methodologies/tools on different designs and technology nodes.
• Good scripting skills (TCL/SHELL/PERL/Python) is a MUST

You are an ASIC engineer with 6+ years of related work experience with a broad mix of technologies including:

• All aspects of ASIC Physical implementation including Floor planning, Clock and Power distribution, global signal planning, I/O planning and hard IP integration.
• Hierarchical design implementation approach, Timing closure, physical convergence.
• Power Integrity Analysis
• Experience with large designs (>100M gates) utilizing state of the art sub 16/14/7/5/3nm technologies.
• Familiarity with various process related design issues including Design for Yield and Manufacturability, multi-Vt strategies.

You should also have hands on experience with the following Tool sets

• Floor planning and P&R tools: Cadence Innovus & Synopsys ICC2
• Synthesis Tools: Synopsys DC/FC
• Formal Verification : Synopsys Formality and Cadence LEC
• Static Timing verification: Primetime-DMSA
• Power Integrity : Apache Redhawk
• Physical Design Verification Synopsys ICV, Mentor Calibre
• Scripting: TCL, Perl is required; Python is a plus

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)
