In short
This Staff SOC Physical Design Engineer role involves leading and performing complex physical design flows for high-speed DDR and graphics, focusing on power and performance optimization for SoC products. Responsibilities include floor planning, CTS, Place & Route, PDN, timing analysis, and physical verification, ensuring signoff closure for tapeout.
Responsibilities
- Lead, plan, and synthesize ambiguous or conflicting requirements for the Physical Design Flow of high-speed DDR, graphics, physical verification flows, micro-architecture, SOC algorithm design and modeling, and methodology.
- Focus on target power utilization and optimization for system-on-chip (SoC) products and how these features impact power and performance.
- Perform Floor Planning, Clock Tree Synthesis, Place and Route, PDN, and Timing analysis and closure.
- Conduct various physical verification checks (such as LVS, DRC, design-for-manufacturing & design-for-yield) at the chip and block levels.
- Provide schedules and support cross-functional engineering efforts to drive to signoff closure for tapeout.
- Act as a strong contributor at design reviews and project meetings.
- Communicate and implement a development plan.
Requirements
- Master's Degree (or foreign academic equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related degree field.
- Three (3) years of experience in a related occupation.
- Experience in high-speed DDR, graphics, physical verification flows, micro-architecture, SOC algorithm design and modeling, and methodology.
- Experience with Floor Planning, Clock Tree Synthesis, Place and Route, PDN, Timing analysis and closure.
- Experience with physical verification checks (LVS, DRC, design-for-manufacturing & design-for-yield).
