Job Description

MTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER (Timing Constraints/STA Signoff )

THE ROLE:

The focus of this role is to plan, build, and execute the verification of new and existing features for AMD s graphics processor IP, resulting in no bugs in the final design.

THE ROLE:

As a member of the AECG ASIC Group, you will help bring to life cutting-edge designs. As a member of the Back-end design/integration team, you will work closely with the architecture, IP design, Physical Design teams, and product engineers to achieve first pass silicon success.

THE PERSON:

A successful candidate will work with silicon design engineer s . The candidate will be highly accurate and detail-oriented, possessing good communication and problem-solving skills.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

  • Responsible for the development of complex multi-mode / multi-corner timing constraints that are compatible for RTL and signoff
  • Ensuring constraints quality (SDC) using industry tools like Fishtail , GCA
  • Well versed with timing signoff methodology and corner definitions
  • Drive the pre-route timing checks and QoR clean up to eliminate SDC issues and ensure a quality handoff for STA checks
  • Requires a mix of SDC knowledge, EDA timing tool competence and Tcl based scripting capability (in both EDA environment and standalone Linux Tcl shell scripts)
  • Responsible for Timing closure of one or multiple sub chip/subsystem OR Full chip.
  • Ensuring full chip level Interface timing closure along DRV closure
  • Generating timing ECO using tools DMSA/Tweaker and leading subsystem/Subchip/FC timing closure

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • 8+ years of experience in building the timing constraints for IPs, blocks and Full-chip implementation in both flat/hierarchical flows.
  • Proficient in analyzing SoC architecture to derive appropriate timing constraints and define STA methodology.
  • Skilled in translating architectural and design specifications into accurate timing constraints (SDC), including clock definitions, generated clocks, exceptions (false paths, multi-cycle paths), and hierarchical timing.
  • Owned timing budgets, constraint development, and timing ECOs, achieving first-pass silicon success.
  • Experience with analyzing the timing reports and identifying both the design and constraints related issues.
  • Preferred EDA tool experience: Synopsys Design Compiler/Primetime, Spyglass, Fishtail, Tweaker etc.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and always enthusiastic to collaborate with diverse teams.
  • Experience in timing closure of high frequency blocks & subsystems (> Ghz range )
  • Experience in working full-chip STA closure, defining mode requirements and corners for timing closure.
  • Strong Understanding of DFT modes requirements for timing signoff
  • Good understanding of physical design flow and ECO implementation.
  • Strong understanding of SDC constraints, OCV,AOCV,POCV analysis.
  • Strong TCL/scripting knowledge is mandatory.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering

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.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand the new features to be verified
  • Build test plan documentation, accounting for interactions with other features, the hardware, the firmware, and the software driver use cases
  • Estimate the time required to write the new feature tests and any required changes to the test environment
  • Build the directed and random verification tests
  • Debug test failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and correct any test issues
  • Review functional and code coverage metrics modify or add tests or constrain random tests to meet the coverage requirements

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • Proficient in IP level ASIC verification
  • Proficient in debugging firmware and RTL code using simulation tools
  • Proficient in using UVM testbenches and working in Linux and Windows environment s
  • Experienced with Verilog, System Verilog, C, and C++
  • Graphics pipeline knowledge
  • Developing UVM based verification frameworks and testbenches, processes and flows
  • Automating workflows in a distributed compute environment .
  • Exposure to simulation profile, efficiency improvement, acceleration, HLS tools/process
  • Strong background in the C++ language, preferably on Linux with exposure to Windows platform
  • Good understanding and hands-on experience in the UVM concepts and SystemVerilog language
  • Good working knowledge of SystemC and TLM with some related experience .
  • Scripting language experience: Perl, Ruby, Makefile , shell preferred.
  • Exposure to leadership or mentorship is an asset
  • Desirable assets with prior exposure to video codec system or other multimedia solutions .

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
