Principal Engineer, Physical Design Timing

Job Description

In this role, you will be responsible for Timing methodology definition and closure of designs using industry standard tools for chiplet designs for custom and domain specific products. The chiplets will be leveraged to enable modular design and support multiple products. As part of this team, the candidate will work with leading edge technologies and solutions across multiple domains including SoC multi-die implementations (2.5 and 3D), power delivery, leading edge memory technologies, innovate thermal solutions, on die clocking, and fabrics. The team will also look at options to enhance product power/performance/area/cost thru improved tools and methodologies. The successful candidate would be expected to:

Responsibilities
1. Drive PV convergence/signoff, including static timing, ERC checks, ECO flows and power analysis
2. Defining clock frequencies, PV guard-banding, signoff PV corners, ERC checks, Clock/Reset domain crossing design constraints
3. Develop and recommend design methodologies to enable more efficient and faster design convergence
4. Scripting in an interpreted language (TCL, py)
5. Ability to work independently and at various levels of abstraction
6. Strong analytical ability and problem solving skills
7. Ability to work effectively with both internal and external teams/customers is expected.
