You will work within a multi-disciplinary, multi-site team of architects, designers and verification engineers and will be responsible for the IP design development and integration within the audio sub-system. Responsibilities for the successful candidate will be focused on ASIC implementation tasks but may also include ASIC design tasks from time to time.
Responsibilities will be focused on key ASIC implementation tasks such as:
Synthesis
Timing Constraints
Implementing ECOs
STA
Power intent validation (CLP)
Lint
Power Analysis Tasks
CDC validation
Model and analyze performance, area, power, and system cost tradeoffs for different micro-architectures
Contribute to implementation methodologies/ flows
Specific responsibilities will be a function of project and team needs and may vary over time. In addition to implementation tasks the successful candidate may also be asked to perform ASIC design tasks including some RTL development.
PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Uses tools/applications (i.e., Cadence, RTL Compiler, etc.) to execute the architecture and design of a specific part of a block according to design protocol provided.
Resolves architecture, design, or verification problems by applying sound ASIC engineering practices with some supervision.
Executes the design and verification strategies of ASICs, SoC, and IP cores of own specific assigned part of a block or IC Package with supervision from project lead.
Writes basic tests and regressions to identify any bugs in own work.
Runs power checks on specific part of a block under the guidance of more senior engineers.
Interprets the results of performance checks and reports them to team lead.
Supports the innovation of ASICs, SoC, IP cores, and/or transistor level integrated circuits.
Writes, reviews, and edits technical document in accordance with template requirements.
Communicates directly with lead on any significant deviations from the Plan of Record for specific assigned part of a block in a timely manner.
Participates in design or project reviews and project meetings.
Provides input to team lead regarding areas for process and procedural improvement.
