Work on both the physical design of complex chips and the methodology for efficient, robust design processes.
Work hands-on to triage workflows, running RTL through synthesis and place and route (PnR) tools to create the physical view of the chip.
Analyze performance by running timing analysis and verify power grid by performing EMIR analysis.
Review completed runs for errors and create optimizations from successful runs; perform sign-off checks to verify database readiness.
Collaborate with a global team on next-generation, high-performance processor chips targeted at server, 5G/6G, and networking applications.
Requirements
Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
3+ years of experience in physical design with a focus on block-level PNR for advanced CMOS process nodes (e.g., 7nm, 5nm, or below).
Working experience with industry-standard EDA tools for physical design, including Cadence Genus and Innovus, and Synopsys IC Compiler and Fusion Compiler.
Working knowledge of static timing analysis tools such as Tempus or PrimeTime and EM/IR-Drop/Crosstalk analysis tools like Voltus or PrimeRail is advantageous.
Working knowledge of physical verification and formal verification tools (e.g., Calibre, LEC, Formality) is advantageous.
Enjoy learning by doing the work and having access to guides and a mentor.
Be willing to raise your hand and volunteer for learning opportunities you may not have experienced before.
