THE ROLE:
As a member of the S3 India physical design team, you will help bring to life cutting-edge designs. As a member and lead of the Physical design implementation team, you will work closely with the SOC architects, Physical design architects, design leads, IP teams, Physical Design leads and PD/STA engineers to achieve first-pass silicon success. You will be expected to lead design implementation and convergence activities in the backend from a PnR implementation perspective.
In this position as a Physical Design Expert, you will be part of a world-class team developing groundbreaking high-performance ASICS & APU/dGPU designs. These products are targeted for Game Consoles, High-end Discrete Graphics, Thin and Light Laptops, Artificial intelligence solutions for Inference, Telecommunication, Automotive applications and more. This is a great opportunity to join a talented team that is well-invested in the implementation of futuristic designs in advanced process nodes.
THE PERSON:
You will be responsible for driving a team of silicon design engineers for the successful delivery of project tape-outs from RTL-GDS.
You will use your knowledge of Physical design to lead a complete set of Backend activities, Specifically PnR, timing, verification and signoff including IP integration and full-chip aspects.
This position requires a detail-oriented candidate, who possesses good communication skills and can handle/work with teams.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Lead Physical design team for implementation and convergence of highly complex tiles.
- Will be responsible for delivery of GDS starting from RTL including Signoff and physical verification.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive continuous improvements for achieving better PPA.
- Good understanding of horizontal sign-off flows like VCLP, Formal Equivalence, Low Power Checks, timing convergence (both tile-level and FCT), and full chip integration flows.
- Understanding design requirements, timelines and various milestones of a project and tracking project convergence status accordingly covering all aspects of the design cycle.
- Drive methodology development ideas/forums.
- Collaborate with CAD and EDA vendors to further strengthen AMD and S3 PD closure methodology.
- Provide technical direction, guidance, and Support to the engineering team.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Experienced PD professional with a minimum of 12 years of industry experience in the Physical design domain (RTL to GDS, STA, Physical verification, timing signoff, tapeout).
- Block-level implementation (Place and Route), which includes Floorplanning, Timing Closure and Physical Verification.
- Well-versed with Physical Design verification signoff techniques such as Formal equivalence, IR&EM, Timing Closure (STA), Physical verification, VSI, Formal Equivalence Check or LEC, etc.
- Good understanding of Power, Performance and Area (PPA) optimization techniques.
- Good experience with Perl/TCL/Shell/Python scripting, and Verilog/VHDL RTL design.
- Excellent presentation and inter-communication skills.
Qualifications:
B.Tech/M.Tech/MS/Ph.D. in Computer/Electronics/Electrical Engineering.
Candidate must have the ability to drive/manage projects from RTL to GDS, with a minimum experience of managing more than 3 tape-outs.
Proficient in physical design industry-standard EDA tools like Fusion compiler/ICC2/Primetime/Redhawk/PTPX, low power and physical verification tools.
