Responsibilities of Senior Physical Design Engineer:
- Design and Implementation: review purchased IP data, deliverable schedule, tool flows, licenses, and PDK with cross-function teams
- Floor planning and Place-and-Route: Utilize Cadence Digital Implementation tools for floor planning, placement, CTS, and routing. Optimize power, performance, and area (PPA) metrics.
- Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS): Create efficient clock distribution networks to meet timing requirements.
- Static Timing Analysis (STA): Perform STA to ensure timing closure and meet design specifications.
- Physical Verification: Work on DRC (Design Rule Check) and LVS (Layout vs. Schematic) checks to ensure design manufacturability.
- Collaboration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including front-end designers, verification engineers, and packaging experts, to ensure seamless integration.
- Low-Power Design: Implement low-power techniques such as clock gating, power gating, and voltage scaling as a plus.
Qualifications:
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- Experience:
- > 7 years of Experience for BA/BSc. or > 5 years of Experience for MSc Physical Design for digital block-level or mixed-signal development. Top-level Experience is a plus.
- Strong Experience with Cadence PnR tools and in digital IC design using Tempus, LEC, Quantus, Voltus, and PVS.
- Familiarity with the complete back-end design flow, including EDA flow setup with EDA AE, place-and-route, synthesis, and sign-off.
Skills:
- Knowledge of Foreplaning, CTS, Power, and static timing analysis.
- Understanding of low-power design methodologies.
- Scripting skills (Linux, Shell, Tcl, jobs scheduling) for automation.
- Excellent teamwork, communication, and analytical skills
- Able to learn quickly and results-oriented
- Proficiency in Verilog, UPF, and full digital design flow is a plus.
- Good communication, presentation, and documentation skills in English
- Problem-solving: Ability to address design challenges and have ambitions to resolve new tool and flow issues.
- Team Player: Thrive in a collaborative startup environment with excellent support from the team, EDA, and IP vendors.
