Job Description:

Job Description:The ASIC Design Engineer will need to interact internally with the Design Architect and externally with customers on aspects including but not limited to physical synthesis, influencing RTL content and coding styles that will lend itself to seamless closure in the physical design backend flows. The individual will also be responsible for defining/co-defining timing constraints with the customer and interface with the physical design team to aid in overall closure and manufacture of the ASIC with emphasis on low power, optimized area, max performance, and high overall manufacturing yield.The candidate should have a strong understanding of VLSI and ASIC physical design.

• 20+ years of experience w/ a deep understanding of ASIC architecture, design, development, and verification.
• Significant experience with synthesis and physical synthesis tools (Synopsys and Cadence tool suites preferred).
• Deep understanding of PLLs and clock networks.
• Significant experience using a static timing analysis tool. Preferably Synopsys PrimeTime and/or Cadence Tempus.
• Ability to create and debug timing constraints.
• Ability to understand and debug warning and error messages from the timing tool.
• Ability to generate and understand timing reports.
• Deep understanding of STA concepts.
• Solid understanding of RC networks and how they affect the timing/propagation of signals.
• Understanding of Signal Integrity, Crosstalk Delay, and Glitch/Noise Analysis.
• Understanding of setup analysis, hold analysis, and other timing checks.
• Ability to understand and create timing diagrams.
• Deep understanding of more advanced STA concepts.
• POCV/SOCV/LVF modeling of variation.
• CCS/ECSM/NLDM - liberty timing models.
• PBA - path based analysis.
• Experience using SPICE analysis.Coding experience:
• TCL is required. Experience with at least one or two other coding languages is preferred.Communication and organizational skills:
