- Expertise in logic equivalence checking/FV from RTL to tapeout using industry-standard tools.
- Deep understanding of hardware architecture and hands-on skills in RTL/logic design for timing closure.
- Experience in clock-domain-crossing checking and MTBF analysis.
- Strong experience in full-chip/sub-chip Static Timing Analysis (STA) and timing constraints management.
- Proficiency in programming and scripting languages such as Perl, TCL, Make, and Python.
Responsibilities
- Drive physical design of high-frequency and low-power CPUs, GPUs, and SoCs at various levels.
- Focus on netlist-related aspects including equivalence checking and asynchronous checking.
- Help in all aspects of physical design, including timing convergence and ECO generation.
- Manage timing constraints generation and implementation.
- Utilize industry-standard EDA tools in related fields.
