Summary
Designs and optimizes high-performance, low-power chip layouts from RTL to GDS, leading physical design implementation, timing closure, and verification for large SoCs.
We are seeking a seasoned Physical Design technical leader with deep expertise in high-performance & low-power design. In this highly visible role, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to come up with efficient chip and IP physical architecture taking into account physical design constraints early in the design cycle.
• You will be responsible for all aspects of physical design implementation from RTL2GDS including PnR, bump/RDL, STA, physical verification, EMIR, sign-off • You will also collaborate to drive methodologies and "best-known methods" to streamline PD work and develop guidelines and checklists • You will be the primary technical contact for your focus area and are motivated to solve more challenging timing closure issues, area & power optimization etc.
