What You'll Do

• Develop and own physical design implementation of multi-hierarchy low-power designs including physical-aware logic synthesis, design for testability, floorplan, place and route, static timing analysis, IR Drop, EM, and physical verification in advanced technology nodes.
• Resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions, and drive execution.
• Deliver physical design of an end-to-end IP or integration of ASIC/SoC design.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent similar experience.
• 10+ years experience in physical design.
• Understanding of RTL2GDSII flow and design tapeouts in 16nm/7nnm/5nm or below process technologies.
• Experience with low power implementation, power gating, multiple voltage rails, UPF/CPF knowledge.
• Experience working with EDA tools like DC/Genus, ICC2/Innovus, Primetime, Redhawk/Voltus or Calibre.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience running physical-aware logic synthesis and achieving optimal synthesis QoR on low power designs.
• Knowledge of static timing analysis and concepts, defining timing constraints and exceptions, corners/voltage definitions.
• Experience in Block-level and Full-chip floor-planning and power grid planning.
• Experience with custom or regular clock tree synthesis implementation at block level or top level, and clock power reduction techniques.
• Experience with Python, TCL, Perl programming.

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think were old (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but were also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do you cant put us in a box!

But Digital Transformation is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it).

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Dont care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? Thats cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
