Optimize tool flows, working with EDA vendors to incorporate the latest features
Accountable for block level closure
Supervise the outsourcing of physical design to a 3rd party service
You may be a good fit if you have
5-10+ years of previous experience with PD
Tools, flow, and design methodology from RTL synthesis to GDSII sign-off
Experience with back-end design and timing closure on advanced process nodes (5nm
and below)Experience with Cadence (Innovus, Genus) or Synopsys (ICC2, Fusion Compiler)
automated RTL-to-GDSII flowsExperience with sign-off tools (PrimeTime, Tempus, Voltus, etc.)
Experience with UPF-based low power design methodology, power verification,synthesis, scan insertion/ATPG, formal verification, floorplanning, placement, CTS,
routing, IR drop, and EM/antenna analysisDeeply creative and able to think from first principles
