Meta is hiring ASIC Physical Design Engineers within our Infrastructure organization. We are looking for individuals with experience in backend implementation from Netlist to GDSII in low power and high-performance designs to build efficient System on Chip (SoC) and IP for data center applications.
Job Responsibility:
Develop and own physical design implementation of multi-hierarchy low-power and high-performance designs, including physical-aware logic synthesis, floorplan, place and route, clock tree synthesis, static timing analysis, IR drop, EM, and physical verification in advanced technology nodes
Resolve design and flow issues related to the physical design, identify potential solutions, and drive execution
Deliver physical design of an end-to-end IP or integration of ASIC/SoC design and point out lower power and higher performance trade-offs
Define and implement schemes, including semi-custom placement and routing, to improve performance and power
Work with the RTL design team to understand partition architecture and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle
Interface with the RTL design team to drive design modifications to resolve congestion/timing issues and implement functional ECO’s
Use EDA tool-based programming and scripting techniques to automate and improve throughput and quality
Interact with tool vendors to drive tool fixes and flow improvements. Perform tool evaluations of new vendor tools and functions
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
6+ years of experience in interpersonal, teamwork, communication skills and experience interfacing with cross-functional teams, IP, and EDA vendors
Experience in physical design and timing closure
Experience with large SOC designs (>20M gates) with frequencies over 1GHZ
Experience in floor planning, place & route, power and clock distribution, and timing convergence of high-frequency designs
Experience with EDA tools like DC/Genus, Innovus/ICC2, Primetime, Redhawk/Voltus, or Calibre
Programming/scripting skills: TCL, Python, Perl or Shell
Knowledge of RTL2GDSII flow and design tape-outs in 5nm or below process technologies
Knowledge of geometry/process/device technology implications on physical design
Nice to have:
Experience in full chip floor planning, partitioning, budgeting, and power grid planning
Experience with low power implementation, power gating, multiple voltage rails, UPF/CPF knowledge
Experience in planning, implementing, and analyzing high-speed clock distribution networks. Experience with alternate strategies for clock distribution, including standard trees, mesh, H-Tree, and clock power reduction techniques
Knowledge of static timing analysis and concepts, defining timing constraints and exceptions, corners/voltage definitions
Knowledge of Circuit design, device physics, and sub-micron technology
Experience in the physical design of data-path intensive designs
Experience in the 3D-IC technology, methodology, and advanced packaging
Experience in validating Power Distribution Network (PDN), IR/EM, Thermals for 3D-IC
