THE ROLE:
The focus of this role in the AECG ASIC organization is to lead physical design for next generation ASICs that meet Engineering, Business and Customer requirements.
THE PERSON:
AMD is looking for an engineering leader passionate about driving the best Power Performance Area (PPA) of ASIC solutions for AECG customers. The ideal candidate will have proven experience in driving physical design optimization to deliver industry leading performance/area and performance/power. In this role the candidate will work with the customer, SOC architects, the CAD team and the design team and drive floorplanning and physical design flows for best in class ASIC solutions.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Engineer leading SIGNOFF (FCT, IR/EM,power profiling, RDL) teams improvements in both pre-silicon and post-silicon design phase
- Tasks to include Full Chip Level Floor planning, Bus / Pin Planning, feed-thru planning, Clock Tree Synthesis, Placement, Optimization, Routing, Parasitic Extraction, Static Timing Analysis, Physical Verification and Sign Off
- Lead internal and external teams to deliver best in class performance/watt/mm^2
- Identify complex technical problems, break them down, summarize multiple possible solutions, and lead the team in the right direction
- Drive and hands-on flow development and scripting
- Drive silicon correlation and deliver systematic improvements to improve silicon to STA on high-performance ASICs
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Proven number of years of experience in physical design role leading to an understanding of RTL to GDS development.
- Strong understanding of development of custom ASICs for external customers.
- Strong background in physical design with exposure to circuit and logic design.
