In short
Seeking a Senior Technical Architect with expertise in end-to-end physical design for advanced semiconductor nodes. Responsibilities include floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, timing closure, and low-power design techniques, collaborating with multiple engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- Perform end-to-end physical design flow including floorplanning, power planning, placement & optimization, CTS, routing, and post-route optimization.
- Achieve timing closure across all modes and corners.
- Resolve DRC, LVS, ERC and signoff violations.
- Handle low-power design techniques like Multi-Vt, Multi-voltage (UPF), power gating, and clock gating.
- Perform physical verification and signoff including STA (Primetime), SI/Crosstalk, and IR drop & EM analysis.
- Work on advanced nodes (7nm, 5nm, 3nm or below).
- Collaborate with RTL & Micro-architecture teams, DFT & Test engineers, and Foundry and CAD teams.
- Debug complex timing, congestion, power, and variability issues.
- Drive methodology improvements and automation (scripts/flows).
- Design and architect large-scale physical design solutions utilizing tools such as Cadence and Synopsys.
- Lead training initiatives and knowledge transfer sessions.
- Continuously evaluate and adopt cutting-edge physical design technologies and methodologies.
- Gather and analyze client requirements, delivering tailored solutions and crafting a technology strategy.
Requirements
- Expert proficiency in Physical Design tools such as Cadence Innovus and Synopsys Ic Compiler.
- Strong understanding of Semiconductor Design Principles and Methodologies including RTL to GDSII Flow.
- Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to architect solutions for complex design challenges.
- Proficient in scripting languages such as Tcl and Python for automation in Physical Design tasks.
Desired Qualifications
- Certification in advanced physical design techniques is optional but valuable.
- Certification in relevant industry standards (e.g., IEEE, ISO) is a plus.
Benefits
- Supercharge your potential.
- Find your career.
- Find your spark.
- A place that knows that helping its customers stay on top starts by putting its people first.
