Original job description
Duration: 12+ months
Job Description:
In this role, you will be responsible for driving low-power design strategies, synthesis, and timing closure for complex SoC and IP designs. You will use industry-standard EDA tools to optimize power, performance, and area (PPA), ensuring efficient, reliable silicon that meets product requirements.
THE PERSON:
You are passionate about digital design, power optimization, and timing closure in advanced semiconductor technologies. You enjoy solving challenging problems, are detail-oriented, and thrive in a collaborative team environment and passionate to work with vibrant team located in different time zone . With strong analytical skills and a methodical approach, you are eager to learn, share knowledge, and contribute to building cutting-edge silicon.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Develop and implement power reduction strategies across SoC/IP design.
- Perform synthesis and static timing analysis (STA) to achieve PPA targets.
- Analyze and optimize dynamic and leakage power using industry-standard tools.
- Work closely with RTL designers, physical design, and verification teams to ensure timing and power requirements are met.
- Run low-power verification checks (UPF/CPF) and validate correct power intent implementation.
- Support sign-off activities for Lint , CDC , synthesis, timing, and power closure.
- Automate and streamline power and timing workflows to improve efficiency.
- Build test plan documentation, accounting for interactions with other features, the hardware.
- Strong background in ASIC synthesis and static timing analysis (STA).
- Hands-on expertise with EDA tools such as Synopsys Design Compiler, PrimeTime, PrimePower, Power Artists , or equivalent.
- Experience with power analysis and optimization techniques (clock gating, multi-Vt, power gating, multi-voltage design).
- Familiarity with UPF/CPF power intent specification and verification.
- Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, RTL coding (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
- Experience with advanced process nodes (e.g., 7nm, 5nm, 3nm) is a strong plus.
- Proficiency in scripting languages (TCL, Perl, Python, or Shell) for flow automation.
- Exposure to floorplanning, place-and-route, and ECO flows is desirable.
- Knowledge of low-power design methodologies and trade-offs.
- Prior leadership, mentorship, or cross-functional collaboration experience is an asset.
- Experienced with Verilog, System Verilog, C, and C++
- Graphics pipeline knowledge
- Automating workflows in a distributed compute environment.
