Physical and Digital Circuit Design Engineer (6200-1045)
Job Title: Physical Design Engineer and Digital Circuit Design Engineer Department: Hardware Engineering (US) Location: [Location] Job Description
The Core Technology team at Achronix owns the reconfigurable fabric (look-up tables, routing, configuration memory, carry chains, register files, multipliers, etc.) for our company’s FPGAs. Members of our team participate in all phases of the FPGA product-development cycle, from architecture conception to circuit design and implementation to high-volume manufacturing. New employees will have the opportunity to contribute to all of these phases and work with the world’s most advanced process technology. Why Join Us?
Impact – Your work will be at the core of products that revolutionize industries. Innovation – Immerse yourself in an environment that celebrates breakthroughs and encourages out-of-the-box thinking. Growth – Advance your skills with continuous learning opportunities and career development. Ready to be a cornerstone in the edifice of technological progress? Apply now and carve your legacy in silicon! Job Responsibilities
As a Physical Design Engineer and Digital Circuit Design Engineer, you will be a mastermind behind the physical manifestation of cutting-edge semiconductor designs. You will transform abstract concepts into tangible, high-performance hardware that powers the next generation of devices. Primary Job Responsibilities
Lead the RTL-to-GDS journey, sculpting the landscape of chips that will power tomorrow's innovations. Tackle complex timing and power challenges, ensuring our designs not only meet but exceed performance expectations. Conduct rigorous physical verification to ensure flawless functionality before the grand tape-out. Set up state-of-the-art flows and automate processes for peak efficiency. Work alongside a team of brilliant minds, integrating custom logic and IP. Get involved in semi-custom digital circuit design, floor-planning, track-planning and gain a better understanding of circuit and layout design concepts. Preferred Skills
Proficiency in using industry standard tools such as Fusion Compiler, IC Compiler II, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, Redhawk, Calibre, ICV, etc. Experience with floorplanning, placement, routing, timing closure, and power optimization. Experience with CTS optimizations, special clock routing rules, and cell placement related to jitter clock of PLL. Ability to perform physical verification checks such as DRC, LVS, ERC, etc., and debug issues. Understanding of low-power design techniques such as power gating, voltage islands, clock gating, etc. Understanding of device physics, basic understanding of CMOS design, and circuit simulations using HSPICE or equivalent circuit simulators. Ability to design and optimize custom/semi-custom CMOS digital circuits. Proficient in a scripting language such as Tcl, Perl, Python, etc. Good communication and teamwork skills. Education and Experience
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science with 3-12 years experience. Track record of successful tape-outs and working knowledge of advanced FinFet technology nodes (16nm/7nm/3nm) and beyond. Proficient in EDA tools, scripting languages, and methodologies, orchestrating the physical design with precision and creativity.
