• Develop/support/update design constraints.
• Drive timing closure across multiple corners and modes using static timing analysis (STA).
• Good understanding of digital timing analysis
• Optimize for area, power, and performance (PPA) at block and chip level.
• Conduct physical verification: DRC, LVS, Antenna checks, IR-drop, and EM analysis.
• Develop/support/update constraints.
• Collaborate with RTL design, verification, and architecture teams to resolve design and implementation issues.
• Provide EDA flow automation support (scripting in TCL/Perl/Python).
• Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and sign-off processes for successful tape-out.
• Highly prefer if additionally able to handle RTL coding, Digital QC(RDC/CDC/Lint). Contribute to digital design reviews and Arch reviews.
