System-on-Chip Design Engineer

Job Title : SoC Design Engineer

Location : Markham (1 Commerce Valley Dr E, Thornhill, ON L3T 7X6, Canada)

Key Responsibilities :

Developing block and SoC timing constraints, full chip STA setup and signoff of multi-corner multi-voltage designs.

Owning timing flow and execution to meet SoC timing requirements including timing budgeting, repeater planning, constraints / exceptions generation and management

Engaging closely with block and SoC design teams to understand the design requirements, STA constraints, and convergence challenges.

Engaging closely with physical implementation teams to ensure designs meet QoR and debug timing failures

Experience :

7 - 10+ years of professional experience in ASIC implementation and CAD methodology, preferably experience closing timing of high-performance designs.

Demonstrated ability in areas of ASIC STA constraints generation, timing analysis, timing convergence, and ECOs, at both block and full chip level, is a must

Implementation experience and knowledge handling multi-voltage design is expected. STA closure of low power and multi-power mode designs is an added advantage.

Expertise in industry standard ASIC EDA tools, including Synopsys DC and Primetime is required.

Proficiency in scripting language, such as, TCL, Perl and / or Python

Experience developing scripts to automate design flow, analysis

Hands-on experience with Physical Design implementation is a plus

Strong communication skills, ability to multi-task across projects, and work with geographically spread-out teams

Strong analytical / problem solving skills and pronounced attention to details.
