Description
At Synopsys, we're looking for a Principal Engineer to join our Advanced Node DTCO team. As a Principal Engineer, you will partner with Advanced Node Methodology and R&D teams to deliver rapid PPA closure on high-performance designs using Fusion Compiler. You will connect design requirements, DTCO optimization, and EDA engine capabilities to drive measurable improvements in Power, Performance, Area, and Runtime.
We're looking for someone with a strong background in RTL2GDS flows, including Synthesis, Place & Route, and physical verification for high-performance cores. You should have experience with advanced node technologies (2nm, 1.4nm and below), including Backside Routing and Std Cell Library analysis. A solid understanding of how Synthesis and Place & Route engines interact to deliver and optimize QoR is also required.
As a Principal Engineer, you will be responsible for:
- Partnering with Advanced Node Methodology and R&D teams to deliver rapid PPA closure on high-performance designs using Fusion Compiler
- Connecting design requirements, DTCO optimization, and EDA engine capabilities to drive measurable improvements in Power, Performance, Area, and Runtime
- Prototyping quick solutions using TCL and Perl to validate and extend EDA engine functionality in response to customer and internal challenges
- Collaborating directly with foundry partners to influence technical strategy and execution for advanced node enablement (2nm, 1.4nm, and beyond)
- Analyzing and enhancing RTL2GDS flows, identifying critical path issues, and proposing tangible algorithms or methodology changes
- Leading benchmarking and tape out efforts to validate new methodologies on real, high-performance core designs
- Providing deep technical guidance to both internal teams and external customers on advanced node physical design, including Backside Routing and Std Cell Library analysis
The ideal candidate will have:
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field with 12+ years of hands-on EDA product development, deployment, and full-flow benchmarking experience, including design tape outs at advanced nodes
- Deep expertise in RTL2GDS flows, including Synthesis, Place & Route, and physical verification for high-performance cores
- Strong scripting skills with TCL and Perl, with a track record of building practical prototypes and workflow extensions
- Demonstrated experience with advanced node technologies (2nm, 1.4nm and below), including Backside Routing and Std Cell Library analysis
- Solid understanding of how Synthesis and Place & Route engines interact to deliver and optimize QoR
- Experience with Synthesis/Optimization cell selection is a plus
