Meta is seeking an ASIC Frontend Implementation Engineer to join their Infrastructure team. The role involves front-end implementation from RTL to netlist, including RTL Lint, CDC analysis, timing constraints, and synthesis to build efficient System on Chip (SoC) and IP for data center applications. Key responsibilities include running Logic/Physical Synthesis using advanced optimization techniques, debugging timing/area/congestion issues, performing power estimation at RTL and Gate Level, and conducting Formal Verification checks. The ideal candidate will also have experience with RTL Lint, DFT Analysis, Clock Domain Crossing, Reset Domain crossing checks, Timing Constraint development, and UPF specification for multi-Vdd designs. Collaboration with Design Engineers, DV Engineers, Emulation Engineers, and Physical Design Engineers is essential for successful handoff tasks and feedback.
Good To Have:- Knowledge of Clock Domain Crossing, Reset Domain Crossing, Logic Error Correction
- Synthesis Background, Timing Constraints Development, Floorplanning and STA
- Experience in RTL coding using Verilog/System Verilog
- Knowledge of Timing/physical libraries, SRAM Memories
- Experience with Power, Performance, Area Analysis and techniques for reducing power
- Knowledge of Low power design
- Experience with Design Compiler, Spyglass, PrimeTime, Formality or equivalent tools
- Scripting and programming experience using Perl/Python, TCL, and Make
Must Have:- 5+ years of experience in Design Integration and Front-End Implementation
- Experience with RTL Synthesis and design optimization for Power, Performance, Area
- Knowledge of front-end and back-end ASIC tools
- Experience with RTL design using SystemVerilog or other HDL
- Experience managing multiple design releases and working with cross functional teams to support and debug timing, area, power issues
- Experience with EDA tools and scripting languages (Python, TCL) used to build tools and flows for complex environments
- Experience with communicating across functional internal teams and vendors
