Job Description

Job Description: Sr. Analyst-CAE

We are looking for a Place and Route (PnR) Expert to drive the physical implementation of ASIC blocks, ensuring robust timing closure and adherence to physical constraints. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with Cadence Genus, Innovus, Tempus, and iSpatial flows, enabling a seamless transition from synthesis to final layout. This role involves optimizing performance, power, and area (PPA) while ensuring Design Rule Check (DRC) and Layout vs. Schematic (LVS) compliance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and optimization for ASIC blocks.

• Use Cadence iSpatial to establish a unified synthesis-to-place-and-route flow for efficient physical implementation.

• Ensure timing closure using Tempus STA, resolving setup, hold, clock skew, and noise violations.

• Apply physical constraints, including placement constraints, routing blockages, and power grid definition.

• Work on congestion analysis, IR drop analysis, and signal integrity optimization to meet design signoff requirements.

• Conduct physical verification (DRC, LVS, antenna checks) and implement necessary fixes.

• Collaborate with RTL designers, DFT engineers, and verification teams to ensure seamless integration.

• Perform Engineering Change Order (ECO) implementation to address functional and timing updates.

• Develop and enhance automation scripts (TCL, Python, Perl) for workflow efficiency.

• Optimize power planning strategies to minimize leakage and dynamic power.

• Keep up to date with Cadence tool advancements and apply best practices in leading-edge node technologies (e.g., 7nm, 5nm, 3nm FinFETs).

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or a related field.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in ASIC Place & Route using Cadence Genus, Innovus, Tempus, and iSpatial flows.

• Strong expertise in timing analysis, static timing closure, and signoff methodologies.

• Proficiency in floorplanning, placement, CTS, and routing optimizations.

• Experience with power planning, IR drop mitigation, and clock tree balancing.

• Familiarity with Cadence Quantus for extraction and Pegasus/Calibre for physical verification.

• Strong scripting skills (TCL, Python, Perl) to automate design tasks.

• Understanding of DFT integration and multi-mode, multi-corner optimization strategies.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional team environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with leading-edge finfet process nodes (16nm, 12nm, 5nm, 3nm, or below).
