Staff Physical Design Engineer

What you'll be doing:

• As part of this position, your responsibilities will involve pre-silicon implementation and achieving PPA (Power, Performance, and Area) targets through synthesis and implementation processes that begin with RTL and conclude with delivering a high-quality gate-level netlist.
• You are expected to have hands-on experience with most aspects of physical implementation including Lint, CDC, RDC, Synthesis, and Static Timing Analysis.
• Work closely with designers to run industry-standard design integrity tools on modules and sub-systems. Help identify and fix coding issues to enable smooth implementation.
• Collaborate with designers to run Synthesis on modules and sub-systems, and identify and fix timing and implementation issues.
• Work closely with 3rd party IP vendors on proper SDC generation for the IPs and close timing at the IP level
• Collaborate with implementation engineers and designers in SDC generation and verification using industry-standard tools.
• Be a clear communicator with a proven ability to work across functions inside the company, and with partners across the globe.

What you'll have:

• Extensive experience in synthesis and timing closure of modules in advanced process nodes
• Experience working with high-performance designs, identifying strategies to close aggressive timing targets
• Must have worked with 3rd party mixed-signal IP vendors and resolved timing challenges
• Hands-on experience with Lint, CDC, RDC, Synthesis, and STA. Developed methodologies and flows using industry-standard tools with automation.
• BSEE, MSEE, or Ph.D. with 10+ years of relevant experience in physical implementation of Digital ASICs.

Nice to haves:

• Familiarity with developing automotive grade silicon with AEC-Q100 qualification and ISO 26262

What's in it for you:

• Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team
• Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
• Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more
• Unlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching timecards
