TL;DR · SoC Physical Design Engineer, PnR

JOB TITLE: SoC Physical Design Engineer, PnR The SoC Physical Design Engineer, PnR will join the hardware team to manage the physical implementation of design partitions from netlist to tapeout for a highly complex SOC using innovative process technology. This role involves collaborating with architecture, CAD, timing, and logic design teams to drive physical aspects early in the design cycle. Key responsibilities include completing netlist to GDS2 implementation, performing timing, physical, and electrical verification, and driving signoff closure. The candidate must possess knowledge of chip architecture, back end chip design flow, physical synthesis, floor-planning, place and route, power grid, timing, and physical design verification. Required skills include understanding logic gates and experience with Verilog, VHDL, Python, Perl, TCL, and SPICE to resolve design and flow issues.

What you'll do

  • Drive physical design aspects early in the design cycle by collaborating with the logic design team.
  • Complete the full netlist to GDS2 implementation for specific design partitions.
  • Perform timing, physical, and electrical verification to achieve signoff closure.
  • Resolve and improve design and flow issues related to physical design.
  • Identify potential solutions for technical bottlenecks and drive execution.
  • Manage floor-planning, place and route, and power grid design for complex SOCs.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum BS degree.
  • Basic understanding of logic gates.
  • Knowledge of basic chip architecture, back end chip design flow, physical synthesis, floor-planning, place and route (PnR), power grid, timing (STA), physical design verification (DRC/LVS), and EMIR (Redhawk/Totem/Voltus).
  • Previous internship, project work, or relevant coursework in computer architecture, VLSI, design, logic design, or circuit design (preferred).
  • Strong teamwork skills with the ability to collaborate with multiple functional teams across a variety of fields (preferred).
  • Experience with Verilog, VHDL, Python, Perl, TCL and/or SPICE (preferred).
