Job Title: Synthesis & LEC Lead/Staff

Location: Bengaluru, India Experience: 5–15 years Industry: Semiconductors | AI | Networking | ASIC Design

Role Overview

As the Synthesis & LEC Lead at , you will be the bridge between high-level RTL architecture and physical reality. In the world of high-performance AI SOCs, the "RTL-to-Netlist"

phase is where performance is won or lost. You will hold end-to-end ownership of logical and physical synthesis, and formal verification, ensuring our chips achieve industry-leading Power,

Performance, and Area (PPA) targets while maintaining 100% logical integrity.

Key Responsibilities

Synthesis & PPA Optimization

● End-to-End Ownership: Define and drive the synthesis strategy, from initial RTL handoff through complex gate-level netlist generation and timing closure.

● Low-Power Implementation: Drive front-end low-power optimization using UPF,

ensuring sophisticated power-gating and multi-voltage strategies are implemented flawlessly.

● PPA Leadership: Collaborate closely with RTL, DFT, and Physical Design teams to squeeze every bit of performance and area efficiency out of the design during the

RTL-to-Netlist transition.

Formal Verification & Sign-off

● Logical Equivalence (LEC): Own the formal verification flow, with hands-on expertise in

Conformal Low Power to ensure functional consistency across synthesis and low-power insertions.

● Analysis & Debug: Drive signal integrity (SI)



and noise analysis flows to ensure robust netlist quality before handing off to the Physical Design team.

Key Skills & Technical Requirements

● Synthesis Mastery: Deep knowledge of both logical and physical synthesis flows

(Topographical/Physical-aware synthesis).

● Tool Proficiency: Expert-level experience with Cadence or Synopsys suites, specifically

Genus, DC, Tempus/PrimeTime, and Conformal.

● Formal Verification: Proven track record in LEC, specifically handling complex low-power structures and multi-voltage domains.

● Timing & SI Expert: Expert-level understanding of MCMM timing closure, signal integrity, and the impact of cross-talk on high-speed AI paths.

● Architecture Awareness: Good understanding of scan architecture, DFT modes, and

PnR methodologies to ensure synthesis is "DFT-friendly" and "Place-friendly."

● Scripting: Proficiency in Tcl and Python to automate synthesis and timing analysis pipelines.

Technical Leadership & Background

● Mentorship: Actively mentor junior engineers, establishing best practices for constraint development and front-end flows.

● Project Management: Work with the Project Lead to define execution schedules, track progress, and proactively manage technical risks during the tape-out cycle.

● Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.

● The Startup Mindset: Ability to build high-quality front-end flows from scratch in a lean,

fast-moving setting.
