AMD together we advance_




SMTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER

THE ROLE: 

As a member of the Semi Custom Group, you will help bring to life cutting-edge designs. As a member of the front-end design/integration team, you will work closely with the architecture, IP design, Physical Design teams, and product engineers to achieve first pass silicon success.

THE PERSON:

A successful candidate will work with senior silicon design engineers. The candidate will be highly accurate and detail-oriented, possessing good communication and problem-solving skills.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

  • Implementing RTL to GDS2 flow
  • Handling Floor-plan, Physical Implementation of Power-plan, Synthesis, Placement, CTS, Timing Closure, Routing, Extraction, Physical Verification (DRC & LVS), Crosstalk Analysis, EM/IR, Formal Equivalence
  • Handling different PNR tools - Synopsys Fusion Compiler, ICC2, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, StarRC, Mentor Graphics Calibre, Apache Redhawk, Cadence Genus, Innovus.


P
REFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • Understanding of Design for Test methodologies and DFT verification experience (eg. IEEE1500, JTAG 1149.x, Scan, memory BIST etc.) 
  • Experience with Mentor testkompress and/or Synopsys Tetramax/DFTMAX 
  • 12+ years of professional experience in physical design, preferably with high performance designs.
  • Experience in automated synthesis and timing driven place and route of RTL blocks for high speed datapath and control logic applications.
  • Experience in automated design flows for clock tree synthesis, clock and power gating techniques, scan stitching, design optimization for improved timing/power/area, and design cycle time reduction.
  • Experience in floorplanning, establishing design methodology, IP integration, checks for logic equivalence, physical/timing/electrical quality, and final signoff for large IP delivery
  • Strong experience with tools for logic synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and design checks for physical and electrical quality, familiarity with tools for schematics, layout, and circuit/logic simulation
  • Versatility with scripts to automate design flow.
  • Strong communication skills, ability to multi-task across projects, and work with geographically spread out teams
  • Experience in FinFET & Dual Patterning nodes such as 16/14/10/7/5nm
  • /xcellent physical design and timing background.
  • Good understanding of computer organization/architecture is preferred.
  • Strong analytical/problem solving skills and pronounced attention to details.

 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
