About the role

We are looking for a Lead Design Engineer to provide hands-on execution across Synthesis, LEC, CLP, and UPF/power-intent flows for advanced ASIC/SoC designs. This role is execution-focused with growing ownership: debugging synthesis and LEC issues independently, contributing to CLP sign-off, and writing constraints and ECO scripts, while working closely with the Team on complex escalations.

Responsibilities

  • Run and debug LEC sign off on design blocks; investigate and resolve NEQs and constraint mismatches
  • Work on Genus synthesis runs to improve QoR, debug SDC/constraint issues.
  • Support CLP flows
  • Write and maintain ECO scripts and timing/power constraints for design blocks
  • Independently triage and document issues, escalating complex or systemic issues as needed.
  • Collaborate with PD, DFT, and RTL teams to resolve cross-functional issues affecting synthesis/LEC/CLP closure
  • Prepare clear status updates and technical summaries for internal tracking

Requirements

  • 4–7 years of hands-on experience in ASIC synthesis, LEC, and/or low-power verification flows
  • Working knowledge of Cadence Genus and Conformal (LEC and/or CLP)
  • Familiarity with UPF/CPF-based power intent (IEEE 1801)
  • Scripting proficiency in Tcl, Perl, or Python; comfortable in Unix/Linux based environments.
  • Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, STA basics, and low-power architecture concepts
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work independently on assigned blocks

Key skills

  • Triage
  • Perl
  • Python
  • Unix
  • Linux
