Job Description

As a block-level Physical Design Engineer, you will contribute to all phases of physical design from RTL to the delivery of our final GDSII. Your responsibilities include:

Responsibilities

• Implement physical design at the large SoC block level from RTL to GDSII, creating a design database ready for manufacturing.
• Interact with IP vendors to understand IP integration requirements and integrate all blocks, IPs, and sub-chips at a large SoC level.
• Collaborate with the packaging team on Microbump/Probe Bump/Bump/Pad placement.
• Build block level floorplan, including block pins, macro placement and alignment, power grid, etc.
• Develop the block-level clock network and clock structure in collaboration with clock experts.
• generating block/chip-level static timing constraints.
• Arrange, analyze, and optimize feedthrough and repeaters among all blocks
• Perform block-level place and route, including custom place & route, ensuring the design meets timing, area, power constraints, and all sign-off criteria.
• Generate and implement ECOs to fix timing, signal integrity, EM/IR violations, PV, and complete formal verification.
• Integrate DFT into physical design, ensuring alignment with overall test strategies and manufacturing requirements.
• Run Physical Design verification flow at chip/block level, fixing LVS/DRC/ERC/ANT violations.
• Collaborate closely with architecture, frontend design, DV, and package teams to ensure cohesive design implementation and successful project tapeouts.
