The position focuses on power grid methodologies and implementation, requiring collaboration with the implementation/CAD team throughout the design cycle. The candidate will also be responsible for scripting in Perl or Python to automate tasks and enhance debugging efficiency. This role offers the opportunity to work with complex C/C++ code for design optimization related to power-grid convergence.

Requirements

  • Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience working on algorithmically complex tasks related to chip design using C or C++ programming.
  • Proficiency in programming with Perl, Python, or TCL scripting languages.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard CAD/EDA tools like Cadence Virtuoso or Synopsys ICC/ICC2 design compiler.
  • Experience performing EMIR and power grid analysis using tools such as Cadence Voltus or Apache Redhawk.
  • Ability to read and understand Verilog RTL design descriptions.
  • Experience implementing and operating static timing analysis tools like Cadence Tempus or Synopsys Primetime.
  • Knowledge of circuit analysis tools such as HSPICE.

Responsibilities

  • Work on block and full-chip EM/IR and electrical verification.
  • Collaborate with the implementation/CAD team during the full design cycle to drive analysis fixes and signoff closure.
  • Script using Perl or Python to automate tasks and improve debugging efficiency.
  • Analyze and compare various tool methodologies for power grid construction.
  • Work with the SOC team to meet IP analysis technical and delivery requirements.
  • Optimize complex C/C++ code for power-grid convergence.
