The candidate will be responsible for leading and executing Synthesis Static Timing Analysis (STA) Formal Verification and low-power implementation activities of Mixed Signal (MXS) blocks. Additionally this role acts as the IP Release Owner managing the critical integrity checks prior to IP block handoff to consumers. You will utilize advanced automation and modern engineering workflows to drive functional physical and deployment readiness for complex ASIC blocks in advanced technology nodes.
Responsibilities Include:
- Synthesis & Low-Power Implementation: Execute synthesis and run static checks (CDC RDC UPF/CPF power intent) for digital/mixed-signal blocks.
- Timing & Constraint Management: Create validate and maintain timing constraints. Perform STA and define timing signoff methodologies including corners and derating.
- Formal Verification: Run Formal Verification and logical equivalence checking (LEC) throughout the design flow to guarantee functional correctness.
- Timing Closure: Generate and implement timing/functional ECOs to drive timing closure evaluating pre- and post-route Quality of Results (QoR).
- IP Release Ownership: Serve as the final gatekeeper for IP deployment by driving the release validation flow auditing files for synchronization gaps and ensuring proper tagging via revision control utilities before handing off to customers or SoC teams.
- Workflow Automation: Build and deploy custom script-based automation to streamline implementation and audit tasks.
Qualifications:
- Extensive experience with high-complexity silicon in advanced technology nodes.
- Expertise in industry-standard tools for synthesis STA formal verification and low-power audits (e.g. Design Compiler Genus PrimeTime Tempus Formality VCLP).
- Hands-on experience with hardware data management tools (e.g. Git DesignSync or equivalent) for managing complex hierarchical IP releases.
- Strong familiarity with UPF/CPF low-power design methodologies.
- Automation & Modern Tooling: Experience developing custom automation tools using scripting languages (Tcl Perl/Python) to optimize daily workloads alongside experience leveraging AI code-assist tools to accelerate script generation/code debug.
- Strong analytical mindset excellent problem-solving skills and acute attention to detail.
- Effective communication skills to act as a cross-functional liaison between global design and physical implementation teams.
- Direct experience with physical design implementation steps including partitioning floorplanning placement clock tree synthesis (CTS) routing and physical verification (LVS/DRC using tools like Calibre ICC2 or Innovus) is a plus.
- Direct or indirect experience with RTL design and architecture is a plus.
- Contributed to the successful tapeout or release deployment of at least 12 high-complexity ASICs/SoCs.
Education and Experience Required:
- BS in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related field with 8 years of related experience OR an MS with 6 years of related experience.
