Requirements

  • B.SC./M.SC. in Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering
  • 7+ years of actual design experience in chip design
  • Strong RTL proficiency in SystemVerilog for reading/debugging designs and implementing CDC/RDC-safe structures
  • Experience with constraints and timing intent (SDC) and their interaction with CDC/RDC
  • Hands-on expertise with industry CDC/RDC tools (e.g., SpyGlass, Questa CDC, Real Intent) and lint/formal where relevant
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting language like Python, bash, Perl, TCL
  • Great teammate
  • Way to stand out
  • Passion for quality
  • Experience with delivery to physical design and other customers

Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end execution, tracking, and convergence of chip-level CDC and RDC for complex SoCs across all IPs and partitions
  • Plan and orchestrate CDC/RDC signoff: define methodology, scopes, run plans, constraints, and acceptance criteria
  • Run and maintain CDC/RDC flows and rule decks, including multi-mode, multi-clock, and hierarchical signoff
  • Triage violations efficiently: root-cause to RTL, constraints, tool setup, or IP models; prioritize and drive fixes to closure with owners
  • Verify reset architecture and RDC robustness (reset domain intent, release sequencing, glitch detection, fanout)
  • Author and review CDC/RDC constraints, waivers, and justifications; ensure auditability and signoff quality
  • Automate runs, report parsing, dashboards, and KPIs for closure tracking using scripting and data tooling
  • Partner with RTL, DV, DFT, STA, PD, and Architecture to align fixes, manage ECOs, and protect CDC/RDC quality during late design changes
  • Define and enforce signoff gates; communicate progress and risks with clear metrics and issue tracking
  • Continually improve methodology and training to prevent recurring CDC/RDC issues and accelerate convergence
