Job Description
We are seeking highly motivated Synthesis & Front-End Implementation Engineer to join our dynamic AI NPU team. In this role, you will be crucial in translating RTL designs into optimized gate-level netlists, ensuring performance, power, and area targets are met for complex IP blocks.
Job Responsibilities
As a Synthesis & Front-End Implementation Engineer, your responsibilities will include:
• Performing logical and physical synthesis of RTL designs for various digital blocks and sub-systems, including hierarchical synthesis methodologies.
• Developing and implementing robust timing constraints (SDC) to achieve target frequencies and optimize design performance.
• Conducting STA, identifying critical paths, and collaborating with design teams for timing closure.
• Executing formal verification (LEC) to ensure functional equivalency between RTL and synthesized netlists.
• Analyzing and optimizing power consumption at the front-end stage, utilizing power analysis tools and techniques.
• Performing area estimation and optimization to meet aggressive PPA requirements.
• Collaborating closely with RTL designers, DFT engineers, and physical design engineers to ensure seamless integration and hand-off.
• Developing and maintaining automation scripts (Tcl, Python, Perl) for synthesis flows and design analysis.
• Evaluating and integrating new CAD tools and methodologies to improve efficiency and design quality.
• Documenting design constraints, methodologies, and analysis results thoroughly.
Job Qualifications
To be successful in this role, you should possess following qualifications:
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in VLSI or Electronics Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in digital ASIC/SoC design, with a focus on synthesis and front-end implementation.
• Proficiency with industry-standard synthesis tools (e.g., Synopsys DC/FC or Cadence Genus).
• Strong experience with Physical synthesis and floorplanning aspects is a plus.
• Strong understanding of static timing analysis (STA) concepts and tool (e.g., Synopsys PrimeTime or Cdence Tempus).
• Experience with formal verification tools (e.g., Synopsys Formality, Cadence Conformal (LEC)).
• Understanding of upf, low-power design techniques and power analysis concepts.
• Solid knowledge of Verilog/System verilog for digital design.
• Familiarity with scripting languages (Tcl, Python, Perl) for automation.
• Knowledge of DFT (Design for Testability) principles is a plus.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment across multiple time zones.
