TL;DR · SoC Physical Design Engineer, Power Delivery

As an SoC Physical Design Engineer - Power Delivery, you will join a team responsible for completing partition place and route from netlist to tapeout, including critical automation tasks for Apple SOC. You will develop features and methodology solutions used across various SOC partitions while collaborating with CAD, Physical Verification, Electrical analysis, and PnR teams to ensure a robust, DRC-clean power grid. The role requires expertise in ASIC integration, specifically regarding floorplanning, clock and power distribution, global signal planning, I/O planning, and hard IP integration. You will utilize industry standard tools for PNR, Voltage Drop Analysis, STA, and Layout Verification. To succeed, you must possess strong programming skills to write maintainable scripts in TCL or Python to automate physical design processes and manage block execution across the latest technology nodes.

What you'll do

  • Execute partition place and route from netlist to tapeout for SoC designs.
  • Develop automation tasks and tools using TCL and Python for physical design workflows.
  • Design and maintain a DRC-clean power grid through cross-functional collaboration.
  • Create methodology solutions and features applicable to a wide range of SoC partitions.
  • Perform voltage drop analysis and layout verification to ensure an electrically robust power grid.
  • Manage ASIC integration tasks including floorplanning, clock distribution, and hard IP integration.
  • Develop maintainable and reusable scripts for complex physical design block executions.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of a Bachelor's degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience with automation for Physical Design, including block execution using TCL and/or Python.
  • Proficiency in writing maintainable and reusable scripts or programs of medium complexity in TCL or Python.
  • Familiarity with ASIC integration aspects such as floorplanning, clock/power distribution, global signal planning, I/O planning, and hard IP integration.
  • Understanding of industry standard tools for PNR, Voltage Drop Analysis, STA, and Layout Verification.
  • Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with CAD, Physical Verification, Electrical analysis, and PnR teams.
  • Experience with tapeouts on the latest technology nodes is preferred.
