TL;DR · R&D Engineer IC Design IV

As an R&D Engineer IC Design 4, you will join the team to perform front end design and verification of design blocks for specific cores. Your daily responsibilities include architecture definition, logic design, synthesis, constraint development, and analyzing timing from physical implementation. You will translate systems requirements documents into logic blocks while performing simulation and debugging using Verilog. The role requires expertise in the complete ASIC design and implementation flow, including RTL synthesis and timing closure. Essential technical skills include proficiency with TCL and Perl scripting, Synopsys Design Compiler or Cadence RTL compiler, Primetime for high frequency designs, and Liberty LIB models. You will also utilize tools like Synopsys Formality, Cadence Conformal, Spyglass Lint, and version control systems such as SVN or Git to ensure robust design quality.

What you'll do

  • Perform front end design and verification of design blocks for core components.
  • Define architecture, perform logic design, and develop constraints for integrated circuits.
  • Execute synthesis using tools like Synopsys Design Compiler or Cadence RTL compiler.
  • Conduct timing analysis and closure for high frequency designs using Primetime.
  • Verify designs through Verilog simulation, formal verification, and Spyglass Linting.
  • Perform power analysis of RTL and gate level netlists.
  • Develop TCL and Perl scripts to support the ASIC design and implementation flow.
  • Manage version control for design files using systems like SVN or Git.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent.
  • Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of related experience or a Master's degree with 6+ years of related experience.
  • Experience with complete ASIC or standard product implementation flow from RTL synthesis to timing analysis and closure.
  • Proficiency in TCL and Perl scripting.
  • Synthesis experience with Synopsys Design Compiler/DC topo or Cadence RTL compiler.
  • Timing analysis experience with Primetime for high frequency designs and advanced technology nodes.
  • Experience with formal verification tools like Synopsys Formality or Cadence Conformal.
  • Familiarity with DFT, scan methodology, power analysis, and version control systems.
