TL;DR · SoC FE Implementation Engineer

The SoC FE Implementation Engineer joins a dynamic team focused on defining flows and methodologies to implement complex chips with optimal quality of results, power, performance, and area using cutting-edge technologies. This role involves driving front-end integration activities including synthesis, UPF, logical equivalence, ECO, RTL integration, and timing constraints. The engineer will work on methodology improvements for synthesis, low-power design, and power intent verification at the chip level while collaborating with design, verification, emulation, STA, and physical design teams. Required skills include expertise in digital design integration, synthesis, UPF, and timing analysis. Candidates should possess proficiency in front-end tools and scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, or Python. The role addresses technical challenges in the development of multi-million gate ASICs and involves adapting to modern AI tools and platforms.

What you'll do

  • Drive front-end integration activities including synthesis, UPF, logical equivalence, and ECO.
  • Improve methodology to enhance synthesis quality of results (QOR).
  • Develop low-power designs by writing UPFs and verifying power intent at the chip level.
  • Manage RTL integration, timing constraints, and design synthesis.
  • Execute front-end flows such as Lint and Logical Equivalence (LEQ).
  • Utilize scripting languages like Perl, Tcl, or Python to automate tasks.
  • Implement RTL logic for multi-million gate ASICs.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and 10 years of industry experience are required.
  • Expertise in digital design integration, synthesis, UPF, timing analysis, and closure (preferred).
  • Experience improving low-power synthesis methodologies (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience in chip development with proficiency in front-end tools and methodologies (preferred).
  • Proficiency in scripting languages like Perl, Tcl, or Python (preferred).
  • RTL logic design or implementation experience on multi-million gate ASICs (preferred).
  • Ability to communicate effectively across internal groups.
  • Familiarity with modern AI tools and platforms (preferred).
