Job Description:
Potentially take ownership of early-stage backend design tasks for assigned blocks, including DFT RTL hookup, RTL QA (structural and design rule checks), SDC (timing constraints) creation and review, power estimation, and signoff checklist management.
Perform synthesis and identify and address design issues early.
Implement Design-For-Test (DFT) on complex digital integrated circuits at the block, subsystem or device level (100K to 10M+ gates) which are coded in VHDL/Verilog.
Perform physical design flows, Place & Route and close timing on very large and complex ASICs and SOCs in Very-Deep Sub-Micron (VDSM) process technology nodes.
Potentially work on multiple blocks in parallel.
Analyze log and report files to ensure the tools are getting the required results and make adjustments to the scripts to get the required results within the scheduled milestones.
Collaborate with RTL designers, physical design, implementation and DFT teams to ensure early detection and resolution of issues related to RTL, synthesis, constraints, floorplans and timing.
Communicate regularly with the local project lead to resolve issues and to ensure meeting targeted goals and
schedule.
Document lessons learned, process improvements, and recommendations for future projects.
Proactively identify opportunities to improve efficiency, parallelize work, and offload engineers.
Communicate clearly and effectively with global teams (including regular online meetings and written updates).
