Job Description:Design Engineer: Place and Route (PNR), STA(Static Timing Analysis)
Broadcom Central Engineering Group is looking for energetic and passionate Place and Route/STA Engineer. The Successful candidate will be responsible to work in one or more domains of Place and Route, STA development for complex Digital IP subsystems, Semi-custom macros across all types of bleeding edge process technologies.
Available Job Responsibilities
- Netlist to GDS2 automation flow development for complex digital/mixed signal blocks using PNR tools like ICC2 or Innovus in advanced technology nodes
- Define the Floor Plan/placement/routing/Timing constraints in ICC for Complex blocks including BIST to achieve correct by construct DRC/LVS and timing closure.
- Interact with the Cross functional team (Synthesis/STA/DNE) to close the loop in timing violations/DRC/LVS.
- Constraints automation to achieve predictable timing closure through automation with minimal ECOs.
- Perform PNR Architectural feasibilities with multiple power Ilands with Optimum Utilization, EM, IR
- Develop Fully Automated PNR, STA development flow to close timing to meet broader frequency requirements.
Skill Sets
- Hands on Experience with Synthesis, ICC2, Fusion compiler, Innovus, Prime time tools
- Hands on experience in defining ICC2/Synthesis constraints that meets timing closure needs
- In-depth knowledge of Signal and Power Floor plan with minimal EM/IR violations
