Design Verification(power performance)

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Understand the architecture of the graphics IP and functional block being designed
• Build C/C++ model for simulation
• Build test bench and monitors for DUT
• Compose test plan and validation vectors to ensure functional completeness
• Debug function/performance bugs of graphics IP
• Work with global Front-End design team and physical design team for large scale ASIC chip physical implementation
• Focus on physical design of deep sub-micron GPU chips including block level (full chip) floor planning, timing closure, place&route, physical verification etc

• Have in depth knowledge of entire design process from Design specification, defining architecture, micro-architecture, RTL design and functional verification, synthesis, Physical Design, Timing closure, Tape-out, and post-Si debug.
• Have hands-on experience in Chiplevel Design/Integration activities.
• Some Physical Design exposure required.
• Perform Synthesis and netlisting tasks such as SDC Development, Scan Insertion, ECO implementation, Formal Verification, etc.
• Some exposure to DFT is a strong plus.
• Work with Physical Design team on Floor Plan, budgeting, timing closure, Signal Integrity, ECO flows, Power analysis, IO PAD placement, etc.
• Should have expertise in: Cadence RTL Compiler, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, Conformal LEC. Good knowledge of datapath compilers is required.
• Expertise in Perl and Tcl is a must.
• Knowledge of chip bus interfaces such as AHB and various standard peripherals & interfaces is a plus.
• Should be able to work closely with RTL Designers and Backend Physical Design teams across multiple sites.
• Must have good communication & Analytical thinking skills.
