SoC Physical Design Engineer, Top Level

• Work with the FE team to understand chip architecture and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle. • Work with the physical design team to drive methodologies and “best known methods” to streamline physical design work, come up with guidelines and checklists, drive execution, and track progress. • Be a focal point for place and route, drive the work among place and route engineers, set goals and milestones, plan short and long-term work, understand dependencies between different domains like top, STA, block place and route. • Resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions, and drive execution. Minimum Qualifications Minimum BS with 3+ years experience. Preferred Qualifications Knowledgeable in partition or top level P&R implementation, including floorplanning, clock and power distribution, timing closure, physical and electrical verification. Experience with Top Level a plus, but not required. Strong knowledge of physical design construction and analysis flows and methodology. Shown ability to adhere to stringent schedule and die size requirements. Strong communication skills. Experienced with industry standard tools, understanding their capabilities and underlying algorithms. Experience with large SOC designs (>20M gates) with frequencies in excess of 1GHZ.
