Job Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated Synthesis & Front-End Implementation Engineer to join our dynamic this role you will be crucial in translating RTL designs into optimized gate-level netlists ensuring performance power and area targets are met for complex IP blocks.
Job Responsibilities
As a Synthesis & Front-End Implementation Engineer your responsibilities will include:
* Performing synthesis of RTL designs for various digital blocks and sub-systems including hierarchical synthesis methodologies.
* Developing and implementing robust timing constraints (SDC) to achieve target frequencies and optimize design performance.
* Conducting STA identifying critical paths and collaborating with design teams for timing closure.
* Executing formal verification (LEC) to ensure functional equivalency between RTL and synthesized netlists.
* Analyzing and optimizing power consumption at the front-end stage utilizing power analysis tools and techniques.
* Performing area estimation and optimization to meet aggressive chip size requirements.
* Collaborating closely with RTL designers DFT engineers and physical design engineers to ensure seamless integration and hand-off.
* Developing and maintaining automation scripts (Tcl Python Perl) for synthesis flows and design analysis.
* Evaluating and integrating new CAD tools and methodologies to improve efficiency and design quality.
* Documenting design constraints methodologies and analysis results thoroughly.
Job Qualifications
To be successful in this role you should possess the following qualifications:
* Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related field.
* 2 years of relevant experience in digital ASIC/SoC design with a focus on synthesis and front-end implementation.
* Proficiency with industry-standard synthesis tools (e.g. Synopsys Design Compiler Synopsys Fusion Compiler or similar).
* Strong understanding of static timing analysis (STA) concepts and tool (e.g. Synopsys PrimeTime).
* Experience with formal verification tools (e.g. Synopsys Formality Cadence Conformal (LEC)).
* Understanding of upf low-power design techniques and power analysis concepts.
* Solid knowledge of Verilog/System verilog for digital design.
* Familiarity with scripting languages (Tcl Python Perl) for automation.
* Knowledge of DFT (Design for Testability) principles is a plus.
* Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment across multiple time zones.
