ASIC Physical Design Methodology Engineer

ASIC-PD methodology team are responsible for the development of timing analysis and timing closure methodologies and flow automation for super large and high speed semi-custom chips using deep submicron processes. This includes:

• Research and implement state-of-the-art timing signoff methodology on deep sub-micron process

• Build automatic flow with commercial timing signoff tools to achieve high quality timing closure

• Develop internal tools and methodology to automate timing constraint/SDC generation

• support the physical design implementation team for speed of light project execution

What you'll be doing:

• Develop and validate flows for ASIC backend library quality check, maintain and release methodology.

• Build and validate flows for design level lib cells usage auditing.

• Setup flows/methodology on library in deep submicron physical effects such as aging, self heating, etc.

What we need to see:

• MS/PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 2+ years industry experience

• Understanding of standard cells/memory/IO/PLL and other hard IP modeling and their usage in the ASIC flow.

• Hands-on experience in advanced CMOS technologies, design with FinFET technology 7nm/5nm/3nm and beyond.

• Good knowledge with standard cell design & layout

• Good knowledge of parameter extraction, device physics, STA methodology and EDA tools.

• Understanding spice analysis, crosstalk, electro-migration, noise, OCV, timing margins.

• Expertise in coding- TCL, Python, Perl. Familiarity with industry standard ASIC tools: LC, PT, Spice, etc.

• Strong communications skill and good teamwork experience
