Preferred Qualifications
Implementation experience on high performance CPU designs
Working knowledge of CPU microarchitecture including common critical loops for timing and understanding of low power microarchitecture and implementation techniques for CPUs
Good understanding of physical design tools and methodology including but not limited to physically aware synthesis and place & route tools and flows, extraction, and other analysis flows, and physical design verification (LEC, DVS, etc.)
Knowledge of static timing tools and flows including how to handle multiple clock and power domains
Knowledge of device physics especially aspects which impact timing: cross talk, noise, OCV, uncertainty and derate methodology
Minimum Qualifications
Minimum BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experience
Experience working on timing for 1 ghz+ designs, including how to handle multiple clock and power domains
Experience with one of the following static timing tools: Primetime or Tempus
Experience with cross talk, noise, OCV, uncertainty, and derate methodology
Experience with script writing and debugging in one or more of the following languages: TCL, Perl, Python
