Founded 2020

Description

  • Execute the full physical design flow from netlist to GDSII.
  • Perform floorplanning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, and physical verification.
  • Drive timing closure to meet performance, power, and area targets.
  • Analyze congestion and optimize placement and routing.
  • Fix setup and hold timing violations across all design corners and modes.
  • Perform physical signoff checks including DRC, LVS, IR drop, EM, and antenna verification.
  • Collaborate with RTL, DFT, STA, and packaging teams to support tape-out.
  • Debug implementation issues and support ECO activities.
  • Ensure successful block-level or chip-level tape-out on advanced technology nodes.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of hands-on experience in ASIC/SoC physical design.
  • Strong experience with the complete RTL-to-GDSII implementation flow.
  • Hands-on expertise in floorplanning, power planning, placement, CTS, routing, physical verification, and ECO implementation.
  • Strong timing closure experience with setup and hold optimization.
  • Hands-on experience with Cadence Innovus.
  • Experience with Synopsys ICC2 is an added advantage.
  • Strong knowledge of static timing analysis (STA) concepts.
  • Experience with IR drop, EM analysis, crosstalk, noise, and signal integrity.
  • Hands-on experience with Calibre for DRC/LVS signoff.
  • Experience with advanced technology nodes such as 2nm, 3nm, 5nm, 7nm, 12nm, 16nm, and FinFET.
  • Good understanding of low-power implementation techniques such as UPF/CPF.
  • Experience in block-level or chip-level tape-out.
  • Experience with Fusion Compiler implementation flow is preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with Synopsys PrimeTime and PrimeTime-SI is preferred.
  • Experience with RedHawk or Voltus for power integrity analysis is preferred.
  • Knowledge of Formality and logical equivalence checking is preferred.
  • Experience with hierarchical SoC implementation is preferred.
  • Scripting skills in TCL, Python, or Perl are preferred.
  • Exposure to multi-voltage and multi-power domain designs is preferred.
  • Familiarity with 2.5D/3D IC advanced packaging technologies is preferred.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or a related field.
  • Excellent analytical, debugging, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced semiconductor development environment.
