Digital Design And Implementation Engineer

Job Title

Digital Design And Implementation Engineer

Role Summary

Design and implement design-of-experiment (DoE) blocks and digital test-chip components to support technology yield development and IP characterization. Work across the full digital flow including RTL development, synthesis, floorplanning, place & route, physical verification, and timing analysis.

GlobalFoundries is a semiconductor manufacturer; this role is hands-on and execution-focused. GlobalFoundries does not charge recruitment fees; report suspected recruitment fraud through official channels.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Specific years of experience are not stated.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Develop DoE blocks for standard cells and memory macros to support yield measurements and characterization.
• Create and modify RTL, iterating parameters for optimal cell utilization within timing constraints.
• Drive the full digital implementation flow: synthesis, floorplan, power mesh, and place & route.
• Run physical verification (DRC, LVS, DFM, MAS) and resolve violations.
• Perform timing extraction and static timing analysis to close timing.
• Execute logical equivalence checks to ensure design integrity.

Requirements

Skills and experience expected. Degree requirements are listed separately below.

• Must-have: Practical experience with RTL development and familiarity with the digital implementation flow (synthesis, floorplanning, place & route, timing analysis, physical verification).
• Nice-to-have: Experience in digital physical design; basic coding in Verilog and Python or similar; exposure to Synopsys or Cadence digital toolsets (Genus, Innovus, ICC2, VCS, Virtuoso).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or a related field (as stated in the posting). No additional degree types, fields, certifications, or explicit "or equivalent experience" language were provided.
