Job Title: Hardware Design Engineer 4
Location: Mountain View , CA
Salary Range: $90/hr to $95/hr on W2
Introduction
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated engineer with deep expertise in RTL-to-GDSII flows, specifically using Synopsys Fusion Compiler and RTL Architect (RTLA). This role is pivotal in driving synthesis quality, power-performance-area (PPA) optimization, and methodology development for advanced node SoC designs.
Required Skills & Qualifications- Minimum 7 years of experience in RTL synthesis and physical implementation using Synopsys tools (Fusion Compiler, Design Compiler, PrimeTime).
- Strong command of RTLA and PrimePower RTL flows, including switching activity modeling and scenario-based analysis.
- Proficiency in scripting (TCL, Python) for flow automation and debugging.
- Deep understanding of timing constraints, UPF, and low-power design methodologies.
- Experience with Linux and bash scripting skills are preferred.
- Familiarity with advanced process nodes and associated challenges in timing, congestion, and power closure.
- Applicants must be able to work directly for the company on a W2 basis.
- Experience collaborating with EDA vendors on tool evaluation and runtime profiling.
- Exposure to dashboarding and reporting automation for synthesis metrics.
- Prior contributions to flow migration or tool benchmarking initiatives.
- Own and optimize RTL-to-GDSII implementation flows using Synopsys Fusion Compiler, including synthesis, placement, routing, and signoff.
- Develop and maintain RTLA-based power estimation and optimization flows, integrating with PrimePower RTL and design environments.
- Collaborate with RTL and physical design teams to define timing constraints, UPF-based power intent, and switching activity annotations for accurate power analysis.
- Drive methodology improvements for early RTL power estimation, scenario-based analysis, and dynamic power optimization.
- Support debug and convergence of synthesis flows including constraint validation, floorplan integration, and flow automation.
- Interface with EDA vendors to evaluate tool enhancements, report issues, and guide roadmap alignment.
- Provide training and documentation to internal teams on best practices for synthesis and power-aware design.
- Inclusive and diverse work environment.
- Opportunities for professional growth and development.
- Collaborative and innovative team culture.
