Who You’ll Work With

Our creative and talented team at Movellus is disrupting the way SoCs are designed. You will work with front-end teams to understand chip architecture and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle, driving them to refine their design for physical design closure. You will be the lead to drive the backend process through the entire implementation flow including floor planning, Placement, CDC checks, static timing verification and equivalence checks, with special focus on power and die size optimization.

Moreover, you will drive the development of Movellus’ disruptive new SoC design methodology.

What You Will Do

• Responsible for floor planning, physical synthesis and physical design closure of complex designs at 1GHz+ clock cycles
• Responsible for driving timing closure through physical synthesis and Place & Route tools and working with ASIC vendors.
• As a member of the physical/implementation design team, drive methodologies and “best known methods” to streamline physical design work, come up with guidelines and checklists and drive execution.
• Work with Frontend team to understand the RTL design and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle for physical design closure.
• Resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions

Who You Are

• You are a HW engineer with 5+ years of related work experience with a broad mix of technologies including
• Excellent understanding of ASIC design methodologies from netlist to GDS
• Familiar with all aspects of physical implementation including Floor planning, Clock and Power distribution, global signal planning, I/O planning.
• Familiar with hierarchical design approach, top-down design, budgeting, timing constraints and physical convergence.
• Hands on experience in block level implementation including physical synthesis, placement, routing and optimization with Innovus/ICC2 and timing closure including OCV
• Familiarity with low power design and custom placement implementation
• Experience with large designs utilizing state of the art sub 16/14 nm (FinFET) technologies
• Strong communication skills and ability to work as a team player
• You should also have hands on experience with the following Tool sets
  • Floor planning and P&R tools
  • Synthesis Tools Synopsys DC/DCG; Cadence Genus
  • Static Timing / Signoff Timing verification (Primetime/Tempus).
  • Physical Design Verification DRC/LVS
• Scripting TCL is required; Python is a plus
