• Develop and improve RTL-to-GDS implementation flows and methodologies.
• Understand architectural and micro-architectural design intent to ensure successful implementation.
• Optimize RTL structures for efficient synthesis and physical design convergence.
• Develop, review, and validate timing constraints with designers and architects.
• Drive Design-for-Test (DFT) implementation, including scan insertion, compression, LOC/LOS, RAM BIST, and advanced DFT optimization techniques.
• Support low-power design methodologies, including power-aware optimization, leakage reduction, and dynamic power control techniques.
• Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and guidance to team members in resolving complex implementation challenges.
• Contribute to innovation through patents, technical publications, and proprietary design methodologies.
• Benchmark and drive best-in-class ASIC implementation methodologies and processes. Documentation & Process Compliance Document implementation methodologies, design considerations, challenges, and solutions using company standards.
• Complete design audits, reviews, and compliance checklists in accordance with corporate Design Control Procedures (DCP).
• Maintain accurate records of issues, resolutions, and design reviews within PEPS, JIRA, or other project management systems.

Requirements
