41152326

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering

Principal Duties & Responsibilities

• Implement Hierarchical blocks of the DDR/system cache subsystem running the physical synthesis with Synopsys Fusion Compiler.

• Work with RTL designers on managing complex power intent

• Manage timing constraints

• Trouble shoot upf issues in synthesis

• Run Conformal Low Power Checks on final netlist and resolve clp violations

• Run Power Aware Conformal Logic Equilalency Check: both RTL 2 Gate and Gate 2 Gate.

• Run STA on final netlist and support PD timing/congestion closure

• Work with RTL designers and PD team in evaluateing and executing both manual and tool generated (Conformal eco) functional eco

Skills

• Working independently with little supervision.

• Using verbal and written communication skills to convey complex and/or detailed information to multiple individuals/audiences with differing knowledge levels. May require strong negotiation and influence, communication to large groups or high-level constituents.

• Completing tasks that require multiple steps that can be performed in various orders; tasks require simultaneously executing multiple cognitive abilities and maintaining information in short- or long-term memory.

• Using deductive and inductive problem solving; multiple approaches may be taken/necessary to solve the problem; often information is missing or conflicting; advanced data analysis and interpretation skills are required.

Required Competencies (All competencies below are required upon entry)

• Analytical Skills - The ability to collect information and identify fundamental patterns/trends in data. This includes the ability to gather, integrate, and interpret information from several sources.
