Physical Design engineer

Job description

Scope of Responsibilities:

• As part of a large international R&D organization, you need to work closely with SoC cross functional teams to develop and define Physical Design methodology to meet SoC & IP level objectives on low geometry nodes (5/14/16/28/40nm).

• Your scope of work will cover tools and flow definition, requirement management for SoC and IP level Synthesis, UPF, formal verification, floor plan, power plan, IO ring, Place & Route, DRC, ERC, LVS, ESD analysis and defining analog / digital interface

• You will work with EDA Vendors to proactively review latest tools and flows offerings in Physical Implementation domains, Evaluate latest offerings and benchmark with NXP used tools, flows and methodologies. Needs to drive decision for next set of selections. Work with EDA Vendors to review and resolve blocking issues.

• You will ensure the compliance of your deliveries to NXP design flow, methodologies and quality standards (ISO 9001, ISO 26262 and CMMI).

• You will be an actor of change for deploying new tools.

Specific skills & knowledge

• Bachelor or Master in Electronics Engineering and specialization in VLSI domain.
