Snr Physical Design Engineer

Physical Design Engineer 

As a Physical Implementation Engineer, you will play a leading ownership role in the physical design domain for developing ON Semiconductor’s cutting edge image sensor products. You will work on all aspects of the RTL-to-GDS flow including chip sign-off activities. You need to work closely with cross-functional teams like Digital logic design, Analog Design, IP Design, Packaging and Product/Test Engineering in determining architecture/specification, design integration and post-silicon validation support of the products.

Experience/Requirements:

• BSEE required, MSEE preferred with minimum 2-3 years of related work experience in physical design.
• Good understanding of ASIC physical design flow from synthesis to tape-out including hands-on experience in synthesis, floor planning, P&R, LVS/DRC, die area estimation, integration of hard IPs, ECO implementation, constraints management etc.
• Experience leading the block/chip-level implementation.
• Experience in the low-power design methodology is a big plus.
• Hands-on experience on EDA tools: Design Compiler, ICCII/Fusion Compiler, Conformal-LEC/Formality, Calibre LVS and DRC, Primetime-SI, Redhawk/Voltus.
• Good understanding of the library views used in the implementation process (lef, lib, def)
• Self-motivated and an ability to take ownership of the physical design activities.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong programming skills in TCL/Perl, methodology development and rollout processes are a plus.

Responsibilities:

Responsibilities include participating in the efforts in establishing CAD and physical design methodologies, chip floor plan, power/clock distribution, chip assembly, synthesis and P&R, timing closure, power, noise analysis and back-end verification across multiple projects.

In this role you will be responsible for all aspects of chip signoff activities e.g. timing, physical & electrical verification. Also, resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions and drive execution.
