Senior Engineer

Job Description:

In this role, the Engineer will apply and lead Broadcom's proven design methodology and milestone flow to meet rigorous criteria for achieving Right-First-Time silicon. Candidates must have extensive experience in block-level and top-level layout activities, including floor-planning, partitioning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, and physical verification.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Understanding SoC for top-down/bottom-up physical design integration in 5nm and lower technologies.
• Demonstrating deep functional knowledge of P&R flows, with the ability to quickly adapt to internal methodologies.
• Implementing timing and functional ECOs.
• Executing P&R, extraction, physical verification, and working toward STA closure.
• Building new automation flows as needed and adapting existing flows for re-use.
• Maintaining proficiency in Cadence/Synopsys/Mentor EDA tools for P&R, PV, STA, and ECO.
• Developing automation with high expertise in industry-standard programming languages.
• Clearly understanding execution requisites and leading by example.
• Driving tangible improvements in turnaround time (TAT) alongside better quality.
  
  

Minimum Qualifications:

• MSEE/MSCS with 6+ years of experience, or BSEE/BSCS with 8+ years of experience.
• Deep understanding of backend digital design flows.
• Proficiency in timing and physical constraints.
• Proficiency in handling EDA tools across floorplan, partition, placement, CTS, and route stages for SoC TOP.
• Proficiency with backend EDA tools such as Genus, Innovus, Quantus, Tempus, DC, Star-RCXT, PT, PrimeRail, Voltus, Redhawk.
• Proficiency in Tcl and Perl.
• Excellent analytical skills.
• Proven ability to collaborate in a multi-functional environment across different sites and time zones.
