AECG ASIC Physical Design & Implementation Engineer :

THE ROLE:

The focus of this role in the AECG ASIC organization is to lead physical design for next generation ASICs that meet Engineering, Business and Customer requirements.

Engineer with good attitude who seeks new challenges and has good analytical and communication skills. Candidate needs to have the ability and desire to learn quickly and should be a good team player.

THE PERSON:

AMD is looking for an engineering leader passionate about driving the best Power Performance Area (PPA) of ASIC solutions for AECG customers. The ideal candidate will have proven experience in driving physical design optimization to deliver industry leading performance/area and performance/power. In this role the candidate will work with the customer, SOC architects, the CAD team and the design team and drive floorplanning and physical design flows for best in class ASIC solutions.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

• Implementing RTL to GDS2 flow
• Handling Floor-plan, Physical Implementation of Power-plan, Synthesis, Placement, CTS, Timing Closure, Routing, Extraction, Physical Verification (DRC & LVS), Crosstalk Analysis, EM/IR, Formal Equivalence
• Deft at Handling different PNR tools - Synopsys Fusion Compiler, ICC2, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, StarRC, Mentor Graphics Calibre, Apache Redhawk, Cadence Genus, Innovus.
• Tasks to include Full Chip Level Floor planning, Bus / Pin Planning, feed-thru planning, Clock Tree Synthesis, Placement, Optimization, Routing, Parasitic Extraction, Static Timing Analysis, Physical Verification and Sign Off
• Identify complex technical problems, break them down, summarize multiple possible solutions,
• Drive and hands-on flow development and scripting

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• 12+years of professional experience in physical design, preferably with high performance designs.
• Experience in automated synthesis and timing driven place and route of RTL blocks for high speed datapath and control logic applications.
• Experience in automated design flows for clock tree synthesis, clock and power gating techniques, scan stitching, design optimization for improved timing/power/area, and design cycle time reduction.
• Experience in floorplanning, establishing design methodology, IP integration, checks for logic equivalence, physical/timing/electrical quality, and final signoff for large IP delivery
• Strong experience with tools for logic synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and design checks for physical and electrical quality, familiarity with tools for schematics, layout, and circuit/logic simulation
• Versatility with scripts to automate design flow.
• Strong communication skills, ability to multi-task across projects, and work with geographically spread out teams
• Experience in FinFET & Dual Patterning nodes such as 16/14/10/7/5nm
• Excellent physical design and timing background.
