Rambus, a premier chip and silicon IP provider, is seeking to hire an exceptional Principal engineer physical design to join our Bufferchip team in Bangalore. Candidates will be joining some of the brightest inventors and engineers in the world to develop products that make data faster and safer.

As a Principal engineer physical design the candidate will have a higher exposure to the management and he/she will be part of major technical decision making. The role gives an opportunity to work on high speed designs in the range of 3.5Ghz. The design requires out of box thinking to meet tighter PPA.

Responsibilities

• Experience doing multi-mode multi-corner (MMMC) timing and power analysis using primetime/Tempus.
• Experience in DMSA/Tweaker ECO flows for PPA improvements.
• Experience in Hierarchical and Flat timing flow bring-up and timing analysis on interface paths. Block level/Fullchip/SOC level/Mixed signal timing path analysis and fixing.
• Experience in manual timing fixes, ECO generation for MCMM mode corners. 
• Good understanding of SDC constraints and able to translate timing requirements into constraints.
• Experience with logic synthesis (preferably using Genus-LP/DCT), Physical Design and DFT logic insertion.
• Experience in timing execution and convergence including setup, hold, burn-in, noise, timing budgeting and efficient timing closer for DDR/PCIe, SERDES, USB, Ethernet PHYs.  Work closely with design team to understand mixed signal design integration, QTM models generation and set the appropriate constraints in timing analysis flows and methodology.
• Experience with low power methodologies and UPF/CPF constraints.
• Experience in TCL, Perl scripting

Qualifications

• Must have at least 10 – 12 years of experience, out of which at least 8 years should be related to STA/Synthesis .
• Must have Involved in high Speed design tape-outs and constraint development across modes.
• Must have detailed knowledge of EDA tools and flows, Cadence related foundation flows and RTL2GDS flow is desired
• Experience in Tcl/Tk, PERL is a Plus
