French fabless semiconductor manufacturer specialized in the design and marketing of highly integrated, mixed-signal semiconductor products for markets demanding wideband and low power analog-to-digital, digital-to-analog conversion.
Role:
The Design Team is looking for a dynamic and highly motivated Physicaldesignengineer who will participate to the design of a state-of-the-art CMOS Transceiver ASIC for the Communications market.
The candidate will execute the backend process through the entire RTL-to-GDSII flow.
Responsibilities:
Lead the physical implementation from RTL to GDSII of a complex ASIC in advanced CMOS process (max 22nm).
Collaborate closely with the RTL design team to comprehend digital architecture and execute physicaldesign.
Contribute to defining and refining the physical implementation flow.
Manage floorplan, pin placement, power planning, and block/top-level assembly.
Contribute to defining the supply strategy and selecting standard cells.
Develop timing budgets and draft power intent (SDC) based on design information and specifications.
Ensure timing and physical closure, incorporating lithography optimizations.
Conduct Quality Assurance checks (DRC, LVS, equivalence, power intent checking).
Perform Quality of Result checks, including signoff timing and power analyses.
Integrate DFT scan functionality and contribute to evaluating the fabricated ASIC in the measurement lab.
Collaborate within a team for the successful design of a state-of-the art ASIC.
Participate in design reviews and document processes in accordance with company QA policy.
Requirements:
You hold an MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with over 10 years of hands-on experience in physicaldesign of digital IC from RTL to GDSII, and knowledge of scripting languages (TCL/Python/Bash/Make).
Must have physicaldesign flow experience:
Cadence, full RTL to GDS2 execution with 22 nm and below.
Could haves:
large designs, advanced CMOS technologies and high clock speed, physical implementation of digital processing functions for Mixed-Signal ICs such as A/D Converters, D/A Converters, and/or RF transceivers.
You demonstrate analytical and problem-solving skills, are a team player with a critical attitude and sense of initiative, communicate fluently in oral and written English.
