Asic Physical Design Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Shanghai, China

ASIC Physical Design Engineer role focused on the entire physical design flow from RTL to GSDII, including design quality check, synthesis, formal check, partitioning, constraint management, timing analysis and signoff, and related flows. The role involves working with advanced processes and large chips, and driving physical-friendly design with related teams.

What you'd actually do

  1. STA for hierarchical design.
  2. Constraints creation and validation, timing budget.
  3. Timing closure for both partition and full chip level.
  4. Special timing closure, such as io, test, clock etc.
  5. Synthesis, Netlist quality check, Formal Verification.
