Job Description

AI Vision Processors For Edge Applications

Our solutions make cameras smarter by extracting valuable data from high-resolution video streams.

The Physical Design Engineer will be an integral part of the physical design team with all aspects of physical design implementation and verification tasks for Ambarella’s cutting edge low power AI SoC from Netlist to GDSII.

The Physical Design Engineer will be responsible for the following areas throughout all phase of SoC implementation process; floor-planning, auto place and route, static timing analysis, eco implementation, signal integrity analysis, EM/IR analysis, formal verification, and physical layout verification (LVS/DRC/DFM) at block and/or full chip level.

Requirements

• BS/MS in EE/computer science or equivalent experience
• 3- 5+ years’ experience,
• Good understanding in VLSI digital design/Layout/Timing closure
• Basic knowledge on circuit design, device delays, and timing at gate-level
• Familiar with industry EDA tools such as Cadence Innovus/Quantus/Tempus, Synopsys Fusion Compiler/ICC2/StarRC/Primetime and Mentor Calibre.
• Proficient programming and scripting skills (Perl, Python, TCL, C-shell, make)
• Hardware Design Languages like Verilog, VHDL
• Self-motivated team worker, good verbal and written interpersonal skills.
• Experience with Cadence Innovus/Genus/Conformal and Synopsys Primetime/StarRC would be an added advantage.
• Solid understanding of hierarchical physical design strategies, methodologies and nanometer advanced node technology issues.
• Hands-on experience in STA including multi-mode multi-corner analysis and ability to analyze and fix critical timing issues.
• Proven track record of delivering tape-out quality GDSII with silicon success in sub 10 nm is a plus.
