For an exciting well-funded start-up, we are looking for a Backend Team member.
You will work on complex design, high frequency and low-power budget. Work on ramp-up full RTL2GDSII flow for leading technology and work with external vendors.
Constraints & Timing Closure: Work with design and DFT engineers to write timing and physical constraints, and sign-off on the design using comprehensive Static
Timing Analysis (STA), timing eco implementation.
Advanced Physical Implementation: Drive complex physical design tasks including Floorplanning, Power/Ground (PG) Mesh implementation, and handling advanced
clocking (CTS/Clock-Mesh) and Hierarchical Design flows.
Low Power Expertise: Define, implement, and verify advanced low power design techniques to meet aggressive power consumption targets.
Design for Manufacturability: Implement and verify Design-for-Test (DFT) strategies and close physical verification challenges, specifically focusing on IR-Drop
analysis.
IP Integration & Automation: Execute complex IP integration, incorporating blocks generated by memory compilers and other automated tools.
Collaboration: work closely with design team to understand the data path and correctly implement the floorplan, provide feedback on RTL changes required, Implement logical eco post RTL freeze with design team.
CAD: Improve existing implementation flows to achieve better QOR, write scripts for supporting the P&R flows.
