Physical Design Engineer

Jul 2016Jan 2018 · 1 yr 6 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

  • I have experienced on Interface IO (IIO) subsystem partition, memory bundle control partition convergence (having high gate count, multi power domains and with more then 6 no of macros) having high complexity, CHA and also on server soc partitions convergence.
  • Leading team of 5 people and handling multiple partitions
  • Working experience on 14nm, 10nm and INTEL7 technology node
  • Tape out experience : IIO and CHA subsystem, 10nm server SOC ( 4 tape-out experience)
  • My responsibilities include:
  • 1. CHA and IIO partitions (14nm):
  • RTL to netlist generation using Design Compiler:
  • Performing synthesis and providing valuable feedback on quality of RTL and timing specs and consumability of the same to downstream flows.
  • Placement and Route using IC Compiler:
  • experimenting and coming up with placement strategies for skewed partitions
  • Coming up with routing strategies to minimize slack and converge timing
  • Primetime Analysis:
  • Timing analysis using primetime and verifying different timing paths and generating eco to fix paths
  • Manual ECO fixing
  • Worked on manual eco fixing according to design requirement
  • Debugging different LEC issue and caliber issues and writing the script to provide solutions
  • Horizontal responsibilities:
  • Quality checks like LEC, caliber, noise, power analysis
  • Worked as a solution provider for SOC partition for LEC and caliber checks
  • Constraints checking and validation, Pre-Layout STA
  • STA: Static Timing closure/Timing Analysis/Timing fixes
  • 2. Icelake and SPR Server SOC (10nm and INTEL7)
  • Starting from synthesis to placement and routing, proper CTS latencies building and routing for congestion free design
  • primetime analysis till final convergence of SOC and tapeout
  • worked on floorplan of SOC also
  • Other responsibilities: .
  • Testing and flushing out company-specific flows by collaborating with EDA engineers
  • Planning component placement in Full Chip for consumption to partition owners
