• Perform synthesis using Cadence Genus for large, timing-challenged designs
• Drive PPA (power, performance, area) optimization through synthesis and early implementation stages
• Develop and refine floorplans using Cadence Innovus
• Collaborate closely with RTL teams to provide timely feedback on design quality, constraints, and architectural tradeoffs
• Partner with external P&R teams to iterate toward timing closure and PPA optimization
• Identify and address timing bottlenecks early in the flow to improve convergence
Preferred Qualifications:
• Proven experience with large-scale SoC or AI-class designs
• Hands-on experience at advanced / cutting-edge technology nodes (e.g., N5, N3 or below)
• Strong understanding of timing closure and correlation between synthesis and implementation
