TL;DR · Physical Analysis Engineer

JOB TITLE: Physical Analysis Engineer The Physical Analysis Engineer joins the hardware team to debug flow related issues and enhance ASIC physical design processes. The role involves floor planning, clock and power distribution, and performing electrical analyses at the chip level, including Static/Dynamic IR, EM, Noise, and Signal EM. Key responsibilities include conducting chip-package co-analysis to identify power grid weaknesses like dynamic voltage droop and high impedance paths. The engineer will use industry standard tools such as Apache Redhawk, Voltagestorm, ETS, and PT-SI to perform static and power analysis. Required skills include designing and validating large SOC power grid networks, utilizing scripting languages like Perl, Tcl, or Python for workflow automation, and performing post-silicon correlation to refine pre-silicon EMIR models and signoff methodologies for future projects.

What you'll do

  • Debug flow-related issues and implement enhancements to the physical design process.
  • Perform electrical analyses including Static/Dynamic IR, EM, Noise, and Signal EM at the chip level.
  • Execute floor planning and manage clock and power distribution for ASIC physical design.
  • Conduct static and dynamic power analysis to verify power gating and clock gating techniques.
  • Perform chip-package co-analysis to identify PDN weaknesses and assess impacts on critical timing paths.
  • Automate complex engineering workflows using scripting languages like Perl, Tcl, or Python.
  • Utilize post-silicon correlation and DFT scan patterns to refine pre-silicon EMIR models and signoff methodologies.
  • Drive signoff closure for tape out by managing schedules and multi-functional engineering efforts.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience designing, simulating, and validating large SOC PDN with complex structures in advanced technology process nodes.
  • Experience performing static and power analysis to signoff on power grids using tools like Ansys RedHawk or Cadence Voltus.
  • Ability to debug complex EMIR violations and propose effective design fixes.
  • Experience conducting static and dynamic power analysis and verifying low power techniques like power gating and clock gating.
  • Experience performing chip-package co-analysis to identify PDN weaknesses and assess impacts on critical timing paths.
  • Ability to create or automate complex engineering workflows using scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, or Python.
  • Experience utilizing post-silicon correlation and refining pre-silicon EMIR models and signoff methodologies.
