Responsibilities
Develop and optimize the overall layout of the chip, including partitioning, macro and IP placement, and pin placement.
Design and implement efficient power delivery networks power grids to ensure stable power to all parts of the chip.
Develop and validate high-performance, low-power clock networks (e.g., Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS)) to ensure proper synchronization across the entire chip.
Develop, enhance, and maintain custom scripts (e.g., Tcl, Perl, Python) for automation and improved efficiency.
Conduct extensive Design Rule Checks (DRC) to ensure the layout adheres to manufacturing rules, performing Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) checks to verify that the physical layout matches the logical design.
Requirements: Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
4 years of experience with physical design flows and methodologies (RTL2GDS).
Experience with semiconductor process technologies (deep submicron, advanced nodes like 5nm and below), and device physics (MOSFET/FINFET).
Experience with Design For Testability (DFT) and low-power design methodologies.
Experience with UPF (Unified Power Format) and its application in physical design.
Preferred qualifications:
Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture, or a related field.
Experience with scripting languages such as Perl, Python, or Tcl.
Excellent analysis skills, with the ability to understand, debug, and resolve issues in the design flow.
This position is open to all candidates.
