Mid-level. No explicit years-of-experience requirement provided.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include chip implementation tasks and cross-functional collaboration.
- Implement ASIC physical design flow: floorplanning, placement optimization, clock tree synthesis, routing, and physical verification.
- Optimize designs for performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Perform chip-level power integrity analysis across multiple voltage domains (IR drop, signal electromigration, power electromigration).
- Implement and integrate digital islands embedded within analog environments.
- Collaborate with analog designers, verification engineers, and other global teams to meet project schedules and quality targets.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and team attributes; concise list of preferred additions.
- Experience in ASIC physical design with hands-on implementation experience.
- Strong understanding of floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and sign-off checks.
- Knowledge of power integrity analysis (IR drop and electromigration).
- Ability to work effectively in a distributed, international team.
- Nice-to-have: Analog layout experience.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
