Job Location: Bangalore, India (This position requires a full-time, in office presence in our Bangalore, India Office)
Job ID: AI2554
Job Description:
Role & responsibilities:
- Perform hands-on physical design of blocks (from synthesis to GDS) and handle complex block and/or sub-system implementation.
- Handle all aspects of Physical Design as needed which may include bump planning and coordination with SoC floorplan but not limited to these.
- Own the design of multiple blocks as a technical lead as needed.
- PPA optimization.
- Develop and validate high performance and/or low- power clock network guidelines.
- Perform block-level place and route and close the design to meet timing, area and power constraints.
- Drive the logic equivalency RTL2Synthesis and Synthesis2APR netlist.
- Generate and implement ECOs to fix timing, noise and EM-IR violations.
- Run physical design verification flow at block level and provide guidelines to fix LVS/DRC violations to other designers.
- Participate in establishing P&R; flows and physical design methodologies for correct-by-construction designs.
- Assist in flow development and/or refinement for RTL2GDSII
- Partner with STA teams to refine clock distribution networks, evaluate power-optimized clock gating and clock implementation strategies.
- Architect and extend infrastructure using TCL, Python, and Perl scripts to streamline physical design metrics reporting, automate regression suites, and explore AI/ML-driven closure techniques.
- Serve as the central point of contact for physical design convergence, aligning RTL, DFT, STA workflows while providing technical mentorship to team members.
- Write scripts in TCL/Perl/Python to achieve productivity enhancements through automation.
Minimum Requirements:
- BE/BTECH or ME/MTECH 12+ years of experience in physical design using 7 nm or lower.
- DDR PD expertise is a must, expertise with 3DIC or PCIE-high speed interface is also good.
- Timing Signoff experience with SNPS or industry standard tools
- PDN: IR signoff and Physical verification knowledge
- Automation skills python/Perl/TCL
- Proficiency in automation to drive improvements in PPA.
- Experience working on multiple technology nodes in advanced processes.
- Design level knowledge to optimize the implementation for PPA.
Personal Attributes:
Can-do attitude. Strong team player. Curious, creative and good at solving problems. Execution and results-oriented. Self-driven, Thinks Big and is highly accountable. Good communication skills.
