Physical Design Engineer

Job Description

Job Overview:

The Graphics team is looking for Experienced Physical Design Engineers to work on Adreno Graphics cores in the area of Physical Implementation.

Responsibilities:

The Physical Implementation Engineer will work in Qualcomms Adreno GPU team and will be responsible for all the P&R experiments targeted at validating new flows/methodologies.

Minimum Qualifications:

Able to deal with MSM Top level complexity from FP, Placement, CTS, Routing and timing closure Must be
able to take the Hardmacro through P&R from Netlist to GDS including timing closure, formal and Physical verification.

Tools: EDA Physical design tools experience ( Examples: Cadence Innovas, Synopsys ICC2,  PrimetimeSi/Calibre/ etc)

Skills:

Physical design implementation expertize in latest technology nodes in one of the below domains or all of these.

1.Floor planning at Full chip level or Macro or Block Level

a.Macro placement, power grid implementation, power routing, special routing like analog signals etc

b.Power collapse/Low power implementation flow

2.P&R:
Place and route at chip level or block level, perform placement, timing closure in P&R mode, perform clock tree synthesis , routing etc

3.Timing closure/STA

a.Perform STA using primetime Si or Tempus or any industry standard STA engine, timing closure, ECO generation, timing correlation

b.Deep understanding of timing skills to perform correlation, timing fixes , corner/voltage definetions etc

4.Clock Tree Synthesis:

a.Perform custom or regular clock tree implementation at block level or top level.

b.Clock tree balance of complicated tree, clock power reduction techniques etc

5.Low Power Implementation
