CPU Physical Design Integration

Nuvacore is building ground-up high performance, low-power CPU for next-generation compute workloads. As a member of our CPU physical design integration team, you'll drive end-to-end integration, physical verification, and final tapeout signoff checks.

THE ROLE

As a CPU Physical Design (PD) Engineer for Integration you will participate in the following : 

• Lead and/or participate in overall floorplan development and drive area optimization 

• Own and develop the end-to-end Physical Design Integration methodology and execution. 

• Drive and participate in efforts for Physical Verification (PV), PERC, and ESD signoff 

• Own bump and RDL design in close collaboration with the internal packaging team.

• Own the complete analog interfaces, and custom signal construction and implementation.

• Interface directly with foundry and technology teams as required.

• Partner with the internal CAD team to develop and maintain the Tools Flow and Methodology (TFM) across all relevant design domains.

• Collaborate with CPU and subsystem unit owners, custom circuit designers, CAD engineers, and RTL teams as essential. 

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Hold a BS or MS degree with 12+ years of experience (for Lead roles) or 5+ years of experience (for Individual Contributor roles) in CPU physical design integration

• Experience in multiple Tapeouts of SoCs in the latest technology nodes relevant for CPUs.  

• Deep expertise in  Physical Verification, PERC, ESD, Bump & RDL. 

• Expertise in CPU blocks lego planning based on technology rules.

• Experience in Physical design integration methodologies and Signoff process. 

• Proficiency with Siemens, or Synopsys or Cadence EDA tools for Physical Design. 

• Comprehensive understanding of end-to-end physical design implementation and design closure across all signoff domains.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to build processes and infrastructure from ground up

REQUIREMENTS — PREFERRED

• Experience with PNR (Place and Route) & owning blocks. 

• Proficiency in scripting languages including Python, Perl, and/or TCL for design automation and flow development.
