Description
- As a member of our Physical Design team in this highly transparent role, you will directly own implementation of design partition(s) (netlist to delivery of our final GDS) for a highly complex SoC using brand-new process technology- You are going to own block level PnR, floor-planning, clock and power distribution- You will get involved with static timing closure with commercial tools- You will do power and noise analysis (EM / IR-Drop / Xtalk) as well as layout verification (DRC / LVS)- You will be developing and validating dedication low power clock network guidelines- With phenomenal focus you will resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, and identify potential solutions whilst driving execution- You know what documentation should look like, and will help with guidelines and specs
Key Qualifications
- We will be counting on your expertise and years of hands on experience with one of the Place & Route ('PnR') tools available today (Synopsys / Cadence), and having understanding of their capabilities and underlying algorithms.
- You are familiar with hierarchical design approach, top-down design, and timing and physical convergence.
- You are demonstrating in-depth understanding of static-timing analysis, extensive know-how in clock/power distribution and analysis, as well as RC extraction and correlation.
- You have experience with SoC practices such as multiple voltage and clock domains, integration of mixed-signal IPs and I/O integration.
- You can do scripting and programming using several of the following: Perl, TCL and Make.
- We expect experience with large SoC designs (>20M gates) with frequencies in excess of 1GHZ and beyond.
- If you also have working knowledge in Verilog, that is a huge plus for us.
- Your communication skills are excellent, and like the rest of us here at Apple you love working in open and multi-cultural environment.
