ASIC Physical Design Engineer

Summary

Designs and optimizes ASIC physical layouts from RTL to GDSII, focusing on timing closure, synthesis, and flow automation for advanced semiconductor processes.

ASIC Physical Design Engineer

Location: Taiwan, Hsinchu

Time Type: Full time

Job Description

ASIC-PD team is hiring both junior and senior engineers, whose work scope is physical design from RTL to GSDII: design quality check, synthesis, formal check, partitioning, constraint (for both design and process), async check, timing analysis/fixing/signoff, also all related flow. Join us, you will work together with expertise in all these areas; you will not only work for physical application, but also drive physical friendly design with all related teams: ASIC/P&R/DFT/SI/ARCH etc.; you will work for the most advanced process/technology, the biggest chip in the world.

What you'll be doing:

  • STA for hierarchical design.

  • Constraints creation and validation, timing budget.

  • Timing closure for both partition and full chip level.

  • Special timing closure, such as io, clock etc. especially for test timing.

  • Synthesis, Netlist quality check, Formal Verification.

  • Implement chip partition and floorplan.

  • Function eco creation.

  • Develop and enhance entire timing closure flow from frontend (pre-layout) to backend (post-layout).

  • Flow automation development, Methodology in any of above areas.

What we need to see:

  • MS in EE, CS or Microelectronics with 1+ year experience is preferred

  • Project experience in IC design implementation.

  • Courses taken in circuit design, digital design

  • Hand-on experience in EDA software from Synopsys (FC/DC/PT/Formality), Cadence (RC compiler/Genus/LEC) is helpful

  • Proficient user of Python, perl or TCL is helpful

  • Proficient in English reading and writing

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Proficient user of Perl, Python or TCL is preferred.

  • Excellent English communication skill.
