Key Responsibilities:
- Physical Design: Leading and executing the physical design process of complex SOC designs, ensuring adherence to design specifications and requirements.
- Floor planning: Leading and driving the creation of chip floorplans, considering various factors like functionality, power, performance, area, and routing congestion to optimize the layout.
- Timing Closure: Ensuring that the chip meets timing requirements by optimizing clock tree synthesis, placement, and routing.
- Place and Route: Leading and driving the placement and routing of logic gates and interconnects, optimizing for performance, power, and area.
- Power Optimization: Implementing power-saving techniques and strategies to meet low-power design goals.
- Physical Verification: Leading and guiding the conduction of design rule checks (DRC) , layout versus schematic (LVS) checks , ERC and other miscellaneous checks to ensure the physical design meets manufacturing requirements.
- Power Integrity: Ensuring that the chip meets the strict constraints of IR drop, Electromigration, and ESD path resistance checks.
- Collaboration: Working closely with design teams, SOC architecture, CAD engineers, program management, IT and other cross-functional teams to achieve project goals and resolve design challenges.
- Methodology Development: Leading the development and improvement of physical design and verification methodologies (including AI based), flows, and tools to enhance efficiency and quality of chip designs.
- Team Leadership: Providing technical expertise, leadership and support within the physical design team across multi-geos. Also mentoring and guiding junior PD engineers.
