Junior Digital Physical Design / PnR Engineer

The job location is Leuven.

The main role of the junior digital physical design / PnR Engineer is to perform and organize the digital and mixed-signal physical design of ASICs developed by ICsense.

Responsibilities

• Physical design of digital integrated circuits (place & route) following the internal design rules and quality regulations. Assumes full responsibility on the quality and accurateness of the back-end layouts.
• In close cooperation with analog layouters, digital designers and project leaders
• Organization of deliverables and timings of these deliverables to ensure high-quality and timely delivery of the digital and mixed-signal top-level layout
• Top-level assembly of ASICs containing digital and analog parts, considering DFT
• Setup and maintain technology setup and tool flow for place & route and physical synthesis

Competences

• You have a master’s degree in electrical engineering (preferably chip design)
• You are a dynamic and highly motivated engineer
• You want to learn all about digital physical design, floor planning and P&R for multiple power-domains (UPF) and multiple clock-domains.
• You love automating tools using e.g. a script-based approach (Python, TCL…) to streamline the back-end flow.
• You are interested to learn about digital synthesis, logic equivalence checking, Static Timing Analysis and physical verification.
• You have strong communication and reporting skills, also in English.
• Considered as a plus:
  • Experience with front-end RTL design in VHDL and/or Verilog and/or SystemVerilog
