Senior Principal SoC Physical Implementation/STA Engineer

Ready to join the future of innovation in SOC Physical Design? 

 This opening is within the Advanced Chip Engineering (ACE) SoC Implementation Organization, a central Physical Design group responsible for end-to-end Physical implementation of the Automotive and Industrial Automation Processors in NXP.  In this role, you will have deep exposure and involvement in the full RTL2GDS flow, the ability to interact and collaborate with colleagues in USA, India and China on methodologies, efficiencies and new innovations. 

Your responsibilities 

• RTL synthesis including equivalence and low-power checks, design ECO. 
• Static Timing Analysis (STA), includes working with the architecture and front-end designers to develop and verify timing constraints, perform hierarchical timing budgeting and analysis, create ECOs and drive timing closure for sub-system and SOC.  
• Physical Design of key critical subsystem implementation. 
• Contributes to problem solving related to STA and physical design. 

Your profile 

To be successful in this role you must have: 

• BS or MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
• Expertise in STA, including timing constraints development and timing closure.
• Knowledge of Synthesis, LEC, low power checks... 
• Knowledge of Physical Implementation (Place&Route) is a plus. 
• Knowledge of deep sub-micron CMOS process technology. 
• Strong analyzing skills and problem-solving attitude. 
• Effective communication skills to operate in a global environment. 
• Strong automation skills with Perl, Phyton, TCL...
