Job Summary
We are seeking a highly experienced PDN Engineer for iMCU & Connectivity to lead and contribute to the physical design and implementation of complex, high-performance semiconductor integrated circuits. This role involves driving technical solutions, mentoring junior engineers, and ensuring the timely delivery of cutting-edge products within NXP's diverse portfolio.
Job Responsibilities
As a PD Engineer, your responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
*Conduct power integrity (IR drop), SNA and EM on top-level.
*Will be responsible for floor planning, power grid design, place and route, low power implementation, clock tree synthesis, timing closure, power/signal integrity analysis, to physical verification (DRC/LVS/Antenna).
*The role would involve in-depth knowledge and responsibilities spanning all aspects of physical implementation.
* Drive the definition and implementation of physical design methodologies, flows, and best practices to optimize performance, power, and area.
* Perform comprehensive static timing analysis (STA) and ensure all timing constraints are met across various corners and modes.
* Collaborate closely with architecture, RTL design, DFT, and package teams to ensure seamless integration and successful product delivery.
* Evaluate and adopt new EDA tools and technologies to improve design efficiency and quality.
Job Qualifications
* Bachelor's degree with 9+ years of professional experience or Master's degree with 8+ years of professional experience.
*Working knowledge on advance tech nodes 16ff and below is highly desirable.
*Extensive knowledge and experience in back-end implementation tasks such as low power implementation, PDN and power analysis.
* Expert-level proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools for physical design (e.g., Cadence Innovus, Synopsys Fusion Compiler/ICC2, Ansys RedHawk/PowerSI).
* Strong knowledge of power analysis and optimisation techniques (e.g., UPF/CPF, clock gating, power intent).
* Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics, process technology effects, and DFM/DFY considerations.
* Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Tcl, Python, Perl) for automation of design flows and analysis.
* Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and mentor other engineers.
* Ability to work independently and take ownership of critical design aspects.
