Senior / Staff Physical Design Engineer Job in Bengaluru at Arm Technologies

ARM Technologies is hiring for the role of Senior/Staff Physical Design Engineer!

Responsibilities of the Candidate:

• Build implementations of Arm CPU/GPU class designs using PDG’s optimized physical IP.
• Perform RTL setup, integration of memory models, creation of floorplans and finding the rewarding recipe of synthesis / P&R flow.
• Optimize performance, power and area as required by the Arm IP and the associated market segment.
• Take the design through STA, EM, IR drop, signoff DRC and other types of verification steps.
• Take care of lighter aspects related to DFT(scan insertion, compression and ATPG) and Gate-level simulations to report power.
• Work with physical IP teams who are responsible for “optimized” standard cell and memories.
• Engage with EDA partners to create and deploy recipes related to EDA tools.
• Get exposure to commercial teams at Arm. This will extend to end customers also as you evolve over time.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's/Master's degree with 3-12  years of minimum experience in the Physical Design domain
• Values communication as a key medium to nurture learning, builds trust with others and solves sophisticated problems with dependencies
• Strong understanding of the RTL2GDSII flow for leading or mainstream process technologies
• Good understanding of the concepts related to synthesis, place & route, CTS, timing convergence, IR/EM checks and signoff DRC/LVS closure
• Expertise in optimizing for cost functions like performance, power and/or area is like gold dust
• Working experience with tools like DC/Genus, ICC2/Innovus, Primetime/Tempus and others relevant to physical implementation
• Nice to have:
  • Any implementation experience on Arm CPU and GPU IP designs would be excellent.
  • High-level know-how related to foundation IPs like standard cells and memories fits well with our work.
  • Good automation skills in PERL, TCL and EDA tool-specific scripting can be impactful.
