ASIC Implementation Engineer - Synthesis

Meta is hiring ASIC Frontend Implementation Engineers within our Infrastructure organization. We are looking for individuals with experience in front-end implementation from RTL to netlist, including RTL Lint, CDC analysis, timing constraints, synthesis to build efficient System on Chip (SoC) and IP for data center applications.ASIC Implementation Engineer - Synthesis Responsibilities

• Run Logic/Physical Synthesis using advanced optimization techniques and generate optimized Gate Level Netlist for Timing, Area, Power.
• Debug the timing/area/congestion issues and work with RTL & Physical designers to resolve them.
• Perform Power Estimation at RTL and Gate Level and identify power reduction opportunities.
• Run Formal Verification checks between RTL and Gate level netlist and debug the aborts, inconclusive and Logic Equivalency failures.
• Perform RTL Lint and work with the Designers to create waivers.
• Perform RTL DFT Analysis and improve the DFT coverage for Stuck-at faults.
• Develop Timing Constraints for RTL-Synthesis and PrimeTime-STA for the blocks and the top-level including SOC.
• Analyze the inter-block timing and come up with IO budgets for the various partition blocks.
• Developing Automation scripts and Methodology for all FE-tools including (Lint, CDC, RDC, Synthesis, STA, Power).
• Work closely with the Design Engineers, DV Engineers, Emulation Engineers in supporting them with the handoff tasks.
• Interact with Physical Design Engineers and provide them with timing/congestion feedback.
