Physical Design CAD Expert (m/w/d)

Job Description

Our Physical Design group is working in a startup-like environment with respect to technical expertise, execution, and responsibility. Each Physical Design engineer has an E2E responsibility from definition, execution, and full signoffs, working closely with design and architecture teams for constraints development, design review, and RTL modifications to achieve converges.

We’re looking for a Physical Design CAD Expert to join the growing Technology Methodology & Execution team, responsible for developing both Technology Methodologies & Flows for all products and processes and the execution of complex Subsystems/IPs for our next generation Imaging Radar SoC from definition to Tape-Out.

Responsibilities

• Participate in the development of flows & methodologies from Synthesis, Place & Route, and all signoff flows.
• Plan & execute flow releases, coordinate & track development tasks.
• Explore different methodologies from P&R till signoff to improve PPA & Turnaround time.
• Evaluate new tools features and methodologies to bring innovation with significant RoI.
• Hands-on physical design block ownership end to end, from Synthesis floor planning, Place & Route with target to achieve best PPA.
• Signoff on all domains- STA, IR/EM, Physical Verification, Logic Equivalent Checking, Low Power Verification.
• Serve as the technical lead while mentoring and guiding team members.

Qualifications

• BSc or MSc degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
• 7+ years of experience in the Physical Design field.
• Expert knowledge of the entire backend design flow from RTL to TO (Synthesis, Floorplanning, PnR, CTS, STA, EM/IR, Chip Integration).
• Experience in technically leading horizontal backend activities.
• Experience with flow development, exploration & tuning.
• Experience with Synthesis, P&R & signoff closure on all domains.
• Experience in scripting languages like Tcl/Python/Perl/TCSH & version control tools.
• Experience with advanced nodes (5nm and below) - an advantage.
• Team player with excellent communication skills, customer orientation, and a “can-do” attitude.
