What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sr Physical Design Engineer (100% remote) position at Encore Semi, Inc.?
Position Title: Sr Physical Design Engineer (100% remote)
Location: 100% remote / work from home
Full-time: Salary Benefits Bonuses or Contractor
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.
You will own the final chip level GDSII (chip & block floorplan/implementation, power/clock distribution, chip assembly, P&R, STA, & LVS/DRC to closure). This position requires expert knowledge of Cadence Place & Route (Genus/Innovus/Tempus/Calibre) flow (including STA/DFT and UPF integration). In addition, you will work on:
