Physical Design Lead Engineer

Company: Quest Global Services-N.A., Inc.

Position Title: Physical Design Lead Engineer

Location: 175 Addison Rd, Entrance A, Windsor, CT 06095 and unanticipated clientlocations throughout the U.S.

Position Responsibilities: Implement complex design in physical design flow from netlist to GDSII. Work on TSMC advanced process nodes (3nm or below). Take care of floor-planning, CTS (Clock Tree Synthesis), Route use ICC2, Innovus tools related to Cadence and Synopsys. Optimize design with multi-corner multi-mode (MCMM) timing constraint. Fix setup, hold, transition, capacitance, crosstalk violation, min pulse width (MPW), signal EM (Electromigration)and solving congestion, short, skew, etc. Work on high-speed and complicated clock structure designs with a large number of memories and instances. Use PrimeTime to check and debug timing. Analyze floorplan to reduce congestion using advanced scripting techniques generate a robust clock tree by analyzing the sync points and achieving low latency and minimal power. Work on Static Timing Analysis (STA), Logic Equivalence Checks (LEC), Extraction, Noise, Power. Control timing budgets between blocks & the top-level chip using timing models such as ETM, ILM. Build ECO environments for place and route tools to fix all timing violations. Work onPower Analysis and IR Drop Analysis to meet the requirements. Work on Physical Verification(PV), Design Rule Check (DRC), Layout Versus Schematic (LVS), Antenna, Electrical RuleCheck (ERC), Design for Manufacturing (DFM). Work on logic equivalence check (LEC) for Pre-Post Place and Route design.

Position Requirements: Bachelor's degree (or foreign equivalent) in Electronics Engineering, or arelated field, PLUS five (5) years of experience in the job offered or a related position. Experiencemust include demonstrable knowledge of: The full Place & Route design flow incl. logicalsynthesis, STA, DFT, Placement, Clock Tree Synthesis & physical verification; hardening highspeed, low power CPU designs; design of large SOC full chip & block level P&R using advance Process technologies: advanced process nodes (3nm or below); high-speed interfaces at chip level; clock tree creation incl. sync points & achieving low latency & minimal power; design w/ multicornermulti-mode timing constraints; STA; control of timing budget between blocks & chip usingtiming model such as ETM, ILM; ECO environments for place & route tools to fix timingviolations.
