Our client in Yorktown Heights, NY and looking ASIC Timing Engineer.
This is a 6 months contract with possible extension. We are looking for ASIC Timing Engineer Task Description:- This engineer will assist in leading the effort towards achieving timing closure for an in-flight non-traditional ASIC to be released in the second half of the year.
- This includes all tasks related to achieving timing closure on an ASIC design. Prior experience with both the Cadence Innovus Design suite and Tempus timing, as well as GlobalFoundries / Avera Semi / Marvell's FX14 ASICs Dflow is a must.
- Experience is required in setting up and running with Tempus DSTA , working on hierarchical designs both at the top-level as well as macro (i.e. block) level, and understanding all necessary PDK models used for timing (i.e. dotlibs).
- The selected candidate will be required to work both independently and collaboratively in conjunction with other teams across client Research.
- As such, the ability to be a hands-on person is critical, capable of running tools, working effectively with others, while having the willingness and ability to learn new tools. Similarly, a strong understanding of the underlaying concepts is required to allow for early modeling techniques in the absence of fully developed designs or fully defined parameters.
- An intimate knowledge/use of scripting languages such as TCL and/or Python to facilitate such tasks is required.
- Understanding and debugging SDC timing constraints both at the block and chip level.
- Assist in generating ETMs (Extracted Timing Models).
- Assist Physical Designers on running static timing analysis tools in Innovus.
- Lead the effort in running static timing analysis in Tempus (i.e. graph-based and path-based analysis), at the block and Chip level, using distributed timing (DSTA) for the Chip level.
- Facilitate generating and parsing timing reports via scripts to more effectively identify timing fails.
- Assist in coming up with fixes in the form of PD scripts and or tempus ECOs for any timing problems.
- Assist in generating back-annotated SDF files, used for simulations and detailed power analysis.
