Lead Product Engineer - Genus & Innovus

SHANGHAI Full time

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

Key Responsibilities – Foundry Design Service Team Support

  • Develop and maintain Genus‑to‑Innovus digital implementation reference flows for foundry design service teams.
  • Support RTL synthesis, floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and physical optimization for production SoC designs.
  • Provide methodology guidance on timing closure, congestion mitigation, and power‑aware implementation at advanced nodes.
  • Support hierarchical and block‑based implementation flows used in design services and multi‑project environments.
  • Diagnose and resolve convergence issues impacting timing, power, area, and routability in late design stages.
  • Enable reusable, standardized implementation flows across multiple foundry design service programs.

Foundry Common Requirements – Genus & Innovus Enablement

  • Support foundry‑preferred synthesis and place‑and‑route methodologies aligned with signoff expectations.
  • Enable consistent constraint handling (SDC, UPF) across RTL synthesis and physical implementation stages.
  • Support power‑intent driven implementation flows including low‑power optimization and power domain integration.
  • Provide guidance on advanced‑node challenges such as routing congestion, multi‑patterning‑aware placement, and CTS robustness.
  • Support integration of Genus and Innovus flows with signoff tools such as Tempus, Quantus, Voltus, and Pegasus.
  • Assist design service teams with ECO implementation, late‑stage timing closure, and tapeout readiness.
