1.Communicate with customer/partner and subcontractor to define the package design requirements, or specifications.
2.Propose the package size, structure according to requirements and specifications from customer.
3.Design the package and optimize to meet product specifications, coworking with related layout, electrical and thermal engineering teams.
4.Prototyping document preparation
5.Link with suppliers and follow up the development trend.
The VLSI Physical Design Engineer is responsible for implementing and optimizing the layout of integrated circuits (ICs) from netlist to GDSII. This role plays a key part in turning high-level logic designs into manufacturable silicon chips, ensuring electrical performance, area, and power (PPA) goals are met, and the physical verification results are good.
Key responsibilities:
1. Derive full-chip and block-level physical design from netlist to tape-out (netilst to GDSII).
2. Floorplanning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and layout verifications.
3. Work closely with front-end design, DFT, and package teams to ensure design closure.
4. Sign-off on signal integrity, power integrity, reliability and manufacturability including performing static timing analysis (STA), IR drop analysis, EM analysis, and physical verification (DRC/LVS/DFM).
5. Analyze, optimize and resolve congestion, timing, power integrity and signal integrity issues.
6. Create and maintain physical design automation Tcl scripts, and flows development for design implementation.
7. Interface with EDA tool vendors and foundries to ensure design compliance and manufacturability.
1. Front-End EDA tools survey and design flow evaluation.
2. DFT/ATPG and MBIST/MBISR design implement and ATE debug diagnosis.
3. Front-End design flow improvement, development, and promotion.
4. In house EDA utility development.
This role will work on physical design implementation & methodology development in advance node (16nm and below). Major focus is cell-phone product and need to co-work with design team, front-end team to meet project goal. Low-power, high-speed or advance node knowledge/skill is a plus.
Analyzing voltage drop across the power grid under different operating conditions.
Evaluating current density in metal interconnects and reliability concerns.
Design, analyze, and improve power grids.
Cross-functional collaboration – working with design, package, and verification teams.
Automation and Flow Development – gaining hands-on experience in scripting to improve design efficiency.
1. VLSI Advance Technology Node (2nm and Below) Physical Design Implementation.
2. Comprehensive scope to touch, including chip floorplanning, a variety of design closures on timing, signal integrity, power integrity, DFM as well as physical verifications.
3. Develop physical design flows/solutions on the cutting edge technology node.
