SoC Physical Design Engineer

You will work on physical design implementation of Optical Network ASICs and will be learning latest technology nodes and developing flow , doing implementation to achieve best in class ASICs , which are optimized for power, performance and area metrics.

• Perform physical implementation steps including floor planning, place and route, power/clock distribution, physical verification and timing closure at block level as well as full chip
• Work with logic designers & Hardware team to drive feasibility studies and explore design trade-off for physical design closure
• Perform technical evaluations of IP vendors, process nodes and provide recommendations
• Develop physical design methodologies and automation scripts for various implementation steps from Synthesis to GDSII
• Perform static timing analysis, create timing constraints and validation, critical path analysis, timing closure and timing sign-off

• 7+ years of experience in ASIC physical design flow and methodologies in 3/5 and 7nm process nodes
• Has solid knowledge of full design cycle from RTL to GDSII and understanding of underlaying concepts of IC design, implementation flows and methodologies for deep submicron design
• Experience with EDA Place & Route tools like Fusion Compiler or Innovus or similar tools and Timing tools like Primetime or similar
• Scripting experience in TCL, python or Perl
• Candidates must have a bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical/Electronics and Communication/VLSI/Microelectronics with very good academics
