You thrive in collaborative environments, working well both independently and as part of cross-functional teams. Your ability to adapt and contribute to incremental methodology and flow development sets you apart. You are driven by the challenge of meeting unique performance, power, and size requirements of target applications, and your track record reflects your commitment to excellence. 

What You’ll Be Doing: 

• Implementing physical design from RTL to GDSII for Aerospace and Government customer programs.
• Collaborating with customer teams, working on SOC top-level and block-level physical design implementation and design closure.
• Developing and refining methodologies and flows to improve processes across development teams within Synopsys and customer environments.
• Ensuring successful SOC implementation by proactively managing risks and contingency plans.
• Handling top-level floorplanning, bump-maps, RDL IO Pad/Ring creation/verification, and power grid creation/verification.
• Driving back-end physical design tools for blocks and full-chip through PT timing closure and sign-off.

The Impact You Will Have: 

• Contributing to the successful delivery of high-quality SOC designs for Aerospace and Government programs.
• Enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of physical design implementation processes.
• Supporting the integration of advanced capabilities into SOCs, meeting stringent performance, power, and size requirements.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to achieve project milestones and objectives.
• Driving innovation in SOC design methodologies and flow development.
• Ensuring the reliability and robustness of SOC designs through rigorous verification and closure processes.

What You’ll Need: 

• BS or MS with 10+ years of experience in physical design engineering.
• Proficiency with Synopsys DC, DCG, DC TOPO, and Fusion Compiler/ICC2.
• Experience with Synopsys Flow Development and SOC implementation methodologies.
• Solid understanding of top-level floorplanning, complex clocking methodologies, and verification processes.
• Experience with Synopsys ICV, Ansys Redhawk SC, and familiarity with GlobalFoundries, TSMC, and Samsung technology nodes.

Who You Are: 

• A collaborative team player who excels in cross-functional environments.
• An innovative thinker with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• A detail-oriented professional committed to delivering high-quality results.
• Adaptable and able to manage risks effectively.
• An excellent communicator with the ability to influence and drive project success.
