As a CPU Synthesis CAD Engineer within the CPU Engineering group, you will build and support high-performance synthesis and implementation tools to ensure custom CPUs achieve industry-leading power, performance, and area. Your daily responsibilities include developing, integrating, and releasing new features in the synthesis CAD flow, architecting methodology improvements, and debugging project-specific issues while collaborating with global physical design teams and EDA vendors. You will work on advanced technology nodes at 5nm or lower to solve complex problems regarding design completeness and power efficiency. The role requires proficiency in Tcl and Python, experience with automation, and familiarity with front-end tasks like logic synthesis, LEC, UPF, and front-end signoff. You will utilize industry tools such as Cadence Genus or Synopsys Fusion Compiler to manage and regress synthesis flows for complex CPU designs.
