SoC Physical Design Engineer, PnR
In Physical Design, you will be at the center of design effort collaborating with architecture, CAD, timing and logic design teams, with a critical impact on delivering best in class designs Knowledge of basic chip architecture, back end chip design flow, physical synthesis, floor-planning, place and route (PnR), power grid, timing (STA), physical design verification (DRC/LVS), EMIR (Redhawk/Totem/Voltus). Responsibilities would include:
- Working with the logic design team to understand partition architecture and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle.
- Completing netlist to GDS2 implementation for partition(s) meeting schedule and design goals.
- Timing, physical and electrical verification, and driving the signoff closure for the partitions.
- Resolve and improve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions, and drive execution.
