Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience across physical design, including synthesis, floor planning, place and route, timing and power closure, EM/IR, and physical design validation.
• Experience with synthesis, place-and-route, static timing analysis, and physical design validation tools.
• Experience implementing clock trees and power grids.
• Experience scripting for physical design flow automation.
• Experience with Synopsys Design Compiler, PrimeTime, ICC, Fusion Compiler, or similar tools.
• Good knowledge of high-performance and low-power microarchitecture and logic design principles.
• Understanding of modern sub-7nm sub-micron technology nodes and device physics.
• Basic knowledge of System/SoC architecture and SystemVerilog RTL coding.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

• Own RTL-to-GDS physical implementation flows, including synthesis, floor planning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, timing and power closure, EM/IR, physical design validation (PDV), and final physical design sign-off.
• Own physical design and implementation of high-performance designs, from block-level to system-level components.
• Collaborate with micro-architects to explore performance, power, and area trade-offs for high-performance and low-power designs.
• Conduct physical implementation feasibility studies and provide design recommendations to achieve optimal PPA.
• Develop methodologies and recipes for stages of physical implementation.
• Perform physical design validation flows for timing, power, EM/IR, and other aspects of physical design quality.
• Perform design rule checking (DRC), layout-versus-schematic (LVS) checks, and other physical verification tasks.

Benefits

• Performance incentives
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Equity
