Description
Ability to e xecute any small to mid size customer project in any field of VLSI Frontend Backend or Analog design with minimal supervision Outcomes: Work as an individual contributor to own any one task of RTL Design/Module and provide support to junior engineers in Verification/PD/DFT/Circuit Design/Analog Layout/STA/Synthesis/Design Checks/Signoff etc. Independently analyze and complete the assigned task in the defined domain(s) successfully and on-time On time quality delivery approved by the project lead/manager Measures of Outcomes: Quality -verified using relevant metrics by Lead/Manager Timely delivery - verified using relevant metrics by Lead/Manager Reduction in cycle time and cost using innovative approaches Number of trainings attended Number of new projects handled Outputs Expected: Quality of the deliverables: Ensure clean delivery of the design and module in-terms of ease in integration at the top level Meet functional spec / design guidelines 100% of the time without any deviation or limitation Documentation of the tasks and work performed Timely delivery: Meeting project timelines as requested by the program manager Support the team lead in intermediate tasks delivery Team Work: Participation in team work; supporting team members/lead at the time of need Able to perform additional tasks in-case any team member(s) is not available Innovation Creativity: Automate repeated tasks to save design cycle time as a necessary approach Participation in technical discussion training forum Skill Examples: Languages and Programming skills:a. System Verilog Verilog VHDL UVM C C++ Assembly Perl TCL/TK Makefile Spice (any one) EDA Tools: a. Cadence Synopsys Mentor tool sets (one or more)b. Simulators Lint CDC/RDC DC/RTL-C ICC/Innovus/Olympus ETS/TK/FS PT/Tempus Calibre etc. (any one) Technical Knowledge: (any one)a. Partially implement IP Spec Architecture Design Micro Architecture Functional Spec Test Plan Verificationb. Strong in Bus Protocol AHB / AXI / PCIe / USB / Ethernet / SPI / I2C Microprocessor architecturec. Strong knowledge in Physical Design / Circuit Design / Analog Layout d. Strong understanding of Synthesis DFT Floorplan Clocks PR STA Extraction Physical Verificatione. Strong knowledge of Soft / Hard / Mixed Signal IP Design Processor Hardening FPGA Design Technology: CMOS FinFet FDSOI - 28nm / 22nm / 16ff / 10nm and below Strong communication skills Good analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills with attention to details Able to deliver the tasks on-time per quality guidelines and GANTT in every instance. Required technical skills and prior design knowledge to execute the assigned tasks Ability to learn new skills in-case required technical skills are not present to a level needed to execute the project Knowledge Examples: Frontend / Backend / Analog Design:a. Project experience in any of the design by executing any one of - RTL Design / Verification / DFT / Physical Design / STA / PV / Circuit Design / Analog Layout etc.b. Strong understanding of the design flow and methodologies used in designing Understanding of the technical specs and assigned tasks: Understand the assigned tasks and have strong knowledge to execute the project tasks assigned by the client / manager as per shown skill Experience: 5- 10 Years Desired Skills and Experience: Engineers is expected to be very good in Basic Fundamentals of C-MOS technology Expected to have a very good understanding of the PD Flow for flat and hierarchal designs Able to handle RTL/Netlist to GDSII independently at block level/SS/SoC and should have done multiple tape outs with low power implementation (Experience on floor planning, Partitioning, integration at Subsystem/Chip will be add advantage) Should have hands-on experience of working on Lower technology nodes like 3nm, 5nm, 7nm, 10nm, 14nm, 16nm, 28nm etc. Hands-on experience in floor planning, placement optimizations, CTS and routing. Hands-on experience in block/top level signoff STA, physical verification (DRC/LVS/ERC/antenna) checks and other reliability checks(IR/EM/Xtalk) Should have expertise on industry standard EDA tools from Synopsys , Cadence and Mentor ( ICC2, Fusion-Compiler, Design Compiler, Primetime, PTSI, IC Validator, Innovus, Genus, Tempus, Encounter, Nanoroute, Calibre, StarRC and Redhawk, voltage storm Exposure in DMSA flow for ECO generation and implementation. Good knowledge of VLSI process and scripting in TCL, perl .
