What You'll Do- Conduct synthesis at the block level.
- Perform block-level place and route.
- Implement block-level Static Timing Analysis (STA).
- Generate and integrate timing ECOs at the block level.
- Ensure block-level physical verification is complete and accurate.
- Analyze block-level Electromigration and IR Drop (EMIR).
- Implement low power checks to ensure energy-efficient designs.
- Carry out formal verification to validate design correctness.
- Actively participate in review discussions, providing insightful feedback and suggestions.
Who You Are- Expert-level knowledge of CMOS basics and semiconductor devices
- Comprehensive experience in Full Chip - Netlist to GDSII Implementation , encompassing Floorplanning, Power Grid Design, Placement, Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS), Routing, STA, Power Integrity Analysis, Physical Verification, and Chip Finishing.
- Desired knowledge of Physical Design Methodologies, along with hands-on experience or academic familiarity with advanced sub-micron technologies (7nm, 5nm, etc.).
- A strong grasp of Physical Design methodologies, complemented by a proactive approach to applying practical insights using Physical Design Tools and Flows to streamline design cycles.
- While proficiency in Tcl programming is advantageous, it is not a prerequisite. However, candidates should exhibit a willingness to learn and employ Tcl scripting to automate design tasks and improve process efficiency.
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.)
