SMTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER

THE ROLE: 

The focus of this role will involve driving the physical design flow from floor planning through final sign-off, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to meet stringent power, performance, and area (PPA) targets.

THE PERSON:  

As the SoC Subsystem Physical Design Lead, you will lead the physical design and implementation of critical subsystems within advanced SOC designs.. This position requires deep technical expertise in physical design methodologies and tools, as well as the ability to lead and mentor a team of physical design engineers. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:  

• Own the physical design implementation of SoC subsystems, including floor planning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and optimization to meet PPA goals.
• Work closely with RTL, DFT and IP teams to ensure seamless subsystem integration and resolve physical design issues that impact overall system performance.
• Collaborate with the Full Chip physical verification team to resolve DRC, LVS, and antenna rule violations, ensuring compliance with top level
• Lead clock tree synthesis, manage clock skew, insertion delay, and ensure timing closure across all corners and modes. Address timing violations and signal integrity issues.
• Implement power-saving techniques, such as power gating, multi-voltage domains, and clock gating, to achieve low-power targets while maintaining performance.
• Develop and optimize custom scripts in Tcl, Perl, or Python to streamline physical design tasks and improve workflow efficiency.
• Mentor and guide junior physical design engineers, sharing best practices and providing technical guidance to improve team efficiency and expertise.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  

• Excellent problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills. Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and lead a cross-functional team.
• In-depth knowledge of floor planning, power planning, PNR and signoff checks
• Strong experience in static timing analysis (STA), timing closure, and signal integrity.
• Expertise in power optimization techniques, Upf, including clock gating and multi-voltage domain design
• Proficiency in physical design tools, such as Synopsys ICC2, Primetime, Calibre, Redhawk-SC
• Scripting skills in Tcl, Python, or Perl to enhance automation and streamline physical design tasks.
• Familiarity with DRC, LVS, and other physical verification processes.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:  

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
