Quick Summary

Overview

Alif Semiconductor is revolutionizing the way secure connected AI-enabled embedded solutions are created. We are looking for motivated individuals who want to be involved in a fast-paced environment with cutting-edge technology.

Technical Tools

python

You will be responsible for creating turn-key solutions to support cutting-edge Cellular IoT device. This is a unique opportunity to define a groundbreaking new system with few legacy constraints. As a Sr. Digital Implementation Engineer, you will own the netlist delivery (to Physical Design) of various blocks and chip top level by ensuring the integrity and quality of the RTL database and robust hand-off methodology. This position requires expert knowledge of ASIC synthesis flow (including STA/DFT and IP integration).

Run complete synthesis flow

Define and document synthesis (including DFT insertion) methodology and scripts/flows

UPF flow for defining power intent (at block and chip level)

RTL and Netlist hand-off checks (LEC)

Interface with Physical Design for floor-planning and timing closure

Assist with design partitioning and floorplan.

Analyze STA results and facilitate RTL changes and Timing ECOs with front-end and back-end teams

Significant experience with ASIC Synthesis Flow, Constraint Generation/Validation and Timing Closure

Familiarity with DFT (Tessent) and back-end (Cadence) tools Hands-on experience with digital logic synthesis for power and area optimization

Experience in low power design issues, tools, and methodology including UPF power intent specification

Proficient in Verilog/SV/Tcl/Perl/Python

Highly motivated to debug and resolve CAD tool flow issues

Self-starter with good analytical, problem solving and communication skills

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, a related discipline, or equivalent experience.

Strong expertise with Design Compiler or Genus.

Experience with IP integration

Experience with Synthesis, LEC, DFT, BIST

Experience with Cadence Timing and ECO Flow

Experience with Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) Analysis

Experience with timing corner selection and library models

Proven track record of successful deep submicron technology node tapeout (including Silicon bring-up)

Detailed hands-on knowledge of all aspects of timing closure (including OCV, noise, crosstalk, IR-drop, power/voltage domains/UPF, DFT)
