MTS PHYSICAL DESIGN ENGINEER  

THE ROLE: 

This engineer will work on high speed multi-gigabit SerDes PHY designs. This includes automated synthesis and timing driven place and route of RTL blocks for high speed datapath and control logic applications, automated design flows for clock tree synthesis, clock and power gating techniques, buffer/repeater insertion, scan stitching, design optimization for improved timing/power/area, and design cycle time reduction. You will also support floorplanning, establishing design methodology, IP integration, checks for logic equivalence, physical/timing/electrical quality, and final signoff for large IP delivery.

THE PERSON:  

You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems. 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  

• Major in EE, CS or related, Master Degree with 6+ years or Bachelor with 8+ years working experience, preferably with high speed multi-gigabit SerDes PHY designs or other high performance IP designs

• Experience in automated synthesis and timing driven place and route of RTL blocks (Verilog experience preferred) for high speed datapath and control logic applications
• Experience in automated design flows for clock tree synthesis, clock and power gating techniques, buffer/repeater insertion, scan stitching, design optimization for improved timing/power/area, and design cycle time reduction
• Strong background in digital circuit techniques, efficient and robust implementation topologies for logic functions, logic optimization, and transistor level circuit topologies for high speed, low power applications
• Experience in floorplanning, establishing design methodology, IP integration, checks for logic equivalence, physical/timing/electrical quality, and final signoff for large IP delivery
• Strong experience with tools for logic synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and design checks for physical and electrical quality, familiarity with tools for schematics, layout, and circuit/logic simulation
• Good understanding in the  concepts and SystemVerilog language 
• Versatility with scripts to automate design flow, and quality checks using PERL, Phython,TCL scripting languages.
• Good knowledge in using Synopsys tool ( Fusion Compiler/ICC2, Primetime ) commands
