IC Design Engineer
BroadcomJob Title
IC Design Engineer
Role Summary
Member of the ASIC Implementation team responsible for synthesis and timing closure for complex SoC designs. Lead synthesis, static timing analysis, constraints development, and timing-closure efforts while coordinating with RTL, PNR, IP, and library teams and improving synthesis/STA/low-power methodologies and flows.
Experience Level
Senior — target candidates with senior-level IC design and timing-closure experience (see Education Requirements for years-of-experience guidance).
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include synthesis, timing closure, constraints generation, and cross-team coordination.
- Lead full-chip and block-level synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), and timing closure.
- Develop and generate full-chip and block constraints.
- Drive timing-closure activities and signoff flows using synthesis and STA tools.
- Interface with RTL, PNR, IP, library, and verification teams to resolve timing and implementation issues.
- Develop and enhance methodology and flows for synthesis, Formality/LEC, STA, and low-power checks.
- Work independently with PNR and RTL teams on physical implementation and power-intent requirements.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience.
- Multiple production tapeouts with demonstrable delivery of silicon.
- Extensive hands-on experience with front-end and timing tools such as PrimeTime, Design Compiler (DC), VCLP, Formality/LEC, and timing-closure flows.
- Strong knowledge of PrimeTime/Design Compiler flows and timing methodology.
- Proficiency in Tcl scripting for flow automation.
- Experience with low-power verification and checks is a plus.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Engineering with 12+ years of related experience, or Master's degree in Engineering with 10+ years of related experience.
