Senior Digital Physical Design Engineer - Ireland

Opportunities like this don't come along often - we are looking for several Senior Physical Design Engineers for our client's brand new SoC team based in Cork.

This company is a global name in wireless semiconductors and solutions - their ICs are used in huge volumes within handsets, tablets and consumer devices. They are expanding internationally, and in Ireland are currently in the early stages of building a brand new Physical Design team from scratch. This is a chance to become one of the very first members of a SoC team set for big things, and enjoy working in a start-up style environment with the financial security of one of the world's biggest high-tech giants.

As a Senior Physical Design Engineer, your role will involve:

*Taking responsibility for the complete physical design flow for communication chipsets, enabling low power implementation methods

*working on the physical design execution and integration of the IP into the SoC

*Understanding the design in context of physical design timing closure including developing of timing constraints for implementation.

*Physical design timing closure.

*Developing new scripts/flows to improve the backend design flow.

Skills / experience required:

*A successful track record working in industry as a Physical Design Engineer for digital ASICs

*Strong knowledge of tools for physical design implementation in advanced technologies such as 28nm, 20nm and 14nm CMOS.

*In-depth knowledge of the entire physical design flow from RTL to GDS (including Floorplanning, Power planning, Place and Route (P&R) Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS), Post route optimization and DRC closure.

*Understanding of signal integrity and timing closure issues

*Skills using Perl and tcl

A Bachelor's / Master's degree in computer science, electronic engineering or related technical subject is also required.

Work permit sponsorship can be provided for candidates already based in the EU.
