You'll be in a team that cares about its customers, enjoys having fun, and you'll take part in changing the lives of those in our local communities. Come prepared to be encouraged and inspired.

What You'll Do

• Conduct synthesis at the block level.

• Perform block-level place and route.

• Implement block-level Static Timing Analysis (STA).

• Generate and integrate timing ECOs at the block level.

• Ensure block-level physical verification is complete and accurate.

• Analyze block-level Electromigration and IR Drop (EMIR).

• Implement low power checks to ensure energy-efficient designs.

• Carry out formal verification to validate design correctness.

• Actively participate in review discussions, providing insightful feedback and suggestions.

Who You'll Work With

You'll become an integral part of a vibrant community of professionals who are at the top of their game in the IT and Physical Design Engineering sector. Our team is a collective of forward-thinkers who are not only technically proficient but also display a relentless drive for innovation, constant learning, and collaboration. Your colleagues will be your collaborators and mentors, united in the quest to explore new frontiers in physical design. They are individuals who are not only passionate about staying ahead of industry trends but are also committed to fostering an environment where your inquisitive nature and thirst for knowledge will be nurtured.

Who You Are

• Expert-level knowledge of CMOS basics and semiconductor devices is essential for this role. Candidates must be proficient in the intricacies of CMOS technology to navigate the complexities of modern chip design.

• Comprehensive experience in Full Chip - Netlist to GDSII Implementation, encompassing Floorplanning, Power Grid Design, Placement, Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS), Routing, STA, Power Integrity Analysis, Physical Verification, and Chip Finishing.

• Desired knowledge of Physical Design Methodologies, along with hands-on experience or academic familiarity with advanced sub-micron technologies (7nm, 5nm, etc.).

• A strong grasp of Physical Design methodologies, complemented by a proactive approach to applying practical insights using Physical Design Tools and Flows to streamline design cycles.

• While proficiency in Tcl programming is advantageous, it is not a prerequisite. However, candidates should exhibit a willingness to learn and employ Tcl scripting to automate design tasks and improve process efficiency.

Why Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.

We adopt digital and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re "old" (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do - you can’t put us in a box!

But "Digital Transformation" is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take the difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world-changing? Be you, with us!
