ASIC Physical Design CAD, Timing Constraint and Analysis

ASIC-PD team is hiring both junior and senior engineers, whose work scope is physical design from RTL to GSDII: design quality check, synthesis, formal check, partitioning, constraint (for both design and process), async check, timing analysis/fixing/signoff, also all related flow. Join us, you will work together with expertise in all these areas; you will not only work for physical application, but also drive physical friendly design with all related teams: ASIC/P&R/DFT/SI/ARCH etc.; you will work for the most advanced process/technology, the biggest chip in the world.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Develop timing analysis and timing closure methodologies, and implement flow automation for large-scale, high-speed semicustom chips based on deep submicron processes.

• Establish methodologies for timing constraints and SDC (Synopsys Design Constraints) release, including automatic constraint generation, constraint linting, and validation of timing exceptions.

• Take responsibility for EDA tool evaluation, and collaborate with EDA vendors to enhance commercial timing signoff tools and constraint lint tools.

What We Need To See

• Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, with 2+ years of hands-on experience in physical design implementation or RTL simulation.

• Proven experience in synthesis, timing constraints definition, timing analysis, and timing closure.

• Advanced proficiency in commercial STA (Static Timing Analysis) tools, such as Synopsys PrimeTime, Cadence Tempus, Synopsys TCM, or Ausdia TimeVision.

• Solid expertise in STA principles and timing signoff processes.

• Proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language, including Perl, TCL, Python, or C++.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Experience in flow development or automation for ASIC backend design.

• Knowledge and experience in RTL simulation and validation.
