Physical Design Methodology Owner

Conceptualizes, documents, and designs tools, flows, and methods (TFM) for use in the physical design implementation of IPs, SoCs, and the interaction/handoff/reuse between IPs and SoCs. Establishes regression flows, drives improvement in RTL to GDS flows, and creates and implements methodologies for improving robustness, power, performance, area, and timing for optimizing physical design constraints.

• Develops new physical design techniques through innovative scripts, checkers, flows, and other CAD based automation to simplify and expedite the design process. Analyzes retrospective data on current generation quality and efficiency gaps to identify proper incremental, evolutionary, or transformative changes to the existing physical design related TFM. Partners with physical design, circuits, CAD, RTL, tool/flow owners, and thirdparty vendor teams to continuously improve physical design methodologies and efficiencies.
