Senior role

• Working on Methodology, RTL proving/feedback and Implementation for Arm Mali GPU
• Responsibilities included, but not limited to:
• Working with FE teams to understand the design architecture to drive optimal floorplanning and physical implementation through early RTL feedback
• Driving Physical Design builds and optimization recipes for performance, power, and Area (PPA)
• Managing and resolving design and flow issues related to PD, identifying potential solutions, and driving execution
• Collaborating with methodology team to add features, flow enhancement, streamline Physical Design work, driving execution, and tracking progress
• Running signoff analyses such as static timing and IR/EM analysis

• Working on implementation of different Synopsys standard SERDES IPs across diff teams (Bluetooth Low Energy, MIPI Transceivers) that required the following:
• Working with the design and architecture teams to construct the most efficient floorplans
• Working with the design teams to help improve the RTL for implementation
• Working on the Entire Back-end flow from performing synthesis, place and route and PPA optimizations
• Running signoff analyses such as STA and timing closure, physical verification (LVS, DRC), IR drop/EM analysis
• Working on flow enhancements along with other team members to fix issues and develop new methodologies
