Physical Design Engineer - Foundry Team

As one of the largest R&D centers outside Korea for Samsung Electronics, we take pride in our ability to work on some of the cutting edge technologies. Our engineers get to work across diverse domains, projects, products, clients, people and countries, and conduct research in new and emerging technology areas. Innovation and creativity are highly valued at this innovation hub, as we strive towards providing high reliability; high performance and value added services that enable Samsung Electronics deliver world-class products. 

Roles and Responsibilities

• Complex SOC Top Physical Implementation for next generation SOCs in area of mobile application processors, modem sub-systems and connectivity chips by means of Synthesis , Place and Route, STA , timing and physical signoffs
• Hands on experience doing physical design and timing closure of complex blocks and full-chip designs.
• Experience in top level floor planning including partition shaping and sizing, pin placement, channel planning, high speed signal and clock planning and feed-through planning is a plus.
• Should have strong understanding of timing, power and area trade-offs and optimization of PPA.
• Power user of industry standard tools (ICC/DC/PT/VSLP/Redhawk/Calibre/Formality) and able to understand their capabilities.
• Should have solid understanding of scripting languages such as Perl/Tcl and implementation flows.
• Experience with large SOC designs (>20M gates) with frequencies in excess of 1GHZ .
• Expertise in block level and full-chip SDC clean up, Synthesis optimization , Low Power checking and logic equivalence checking.
• Familiar with deep sub-micron designs (8nm/5nm) and associated issues (manufacturability, power, signal integrity, scaling).
• Familiar with typical SOC issues such as multiple voltage and clock domains, ESD strategies, mixed signal block integration, and package interactions.
• Familiar in hierarchical design, top-down design, budgeting, timing and physical convergence.
• Good understanding of Physical Design Verification methodology to debug LVS/DRC issues at chip/block level.
• Should have gone through recent successful SOC tape-outs.
