About the role

Senior ASIC Physical Design Engineer focused on netlisting, clock-domain crossing, equivalence checking and timing closure for high-frequency, low-power CPUs/GPUs/SoCs. On-site role with locations in Santa Clara, CA and Austin, TX.

Responsibilities

  • Drive physical design of high-frequency and low-power CPUs, GPUs, SoCs at block level, cluster level, and/or full chip level, focusing on netlist-related aspects such as equivalence checking, asynchronous checking including clock domain crossing checks and MTBF analysis, logic synthesis, netlist quality checks, etc.
  • Assist in all aspects of physical design, including driving timing convergence, timing constraints generation and management, and ECO generation and implementation.

Qualifications

  • BS (or equivalent) in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 5+ years’ experience or MS (or equivalent) with 3+ years’ experience
  • Expertise in logic equivalence checking/FV required from RTL to tapeout with industry-standard tools. Deep understanding of hardware architecture and hands-on skills in RTL/logic design for timing closure
  • Experience in clock-domain-crossing checking, MTBF analysis, either with industry-standard tools or in-house tools
  • Background with logic synthesis at either block or full-chip level, at project execution and/or flow development
  • Strong experience in full-chip/sub-chip Static Timing Analysis (STA), timing constraints generation and management, and timing convergence
  • Expertise and in-depth knowledge of industry standard EDA tools in related fields
  • Proficiency in programming and scripting languages, such as Perl, TCL, Make, Python, etc.
