Job Description

A client of Insight Global is seeking a highly skilled ASIC Frontend Digital Implementation Engineer with expertise in industry‑standard Digital Implementation tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens EDA). The engineer will drive frontend RTL‑to‑signoff execution, collaborating closely with internal RTL designers and external backend PNR teams. This role supports multiple 2–3M–instance partitions and contributes directly to successful tapeout for a major December 2026 deliverable.

Day‑to‑Day Responsibilities

• Take RTL from internal design teams and push it through the full frontend implementation flow (synthesis → DFT → STA → LEC → signoff).

• Implement and iterate SDC timing constraints to achieve timing closure for assigned partitions.

• Run synthesis, generate timing reports, perform quality checks, and prepare implementation data for backend teams.

• Partner with external PNR (Place & Route) vendors to resolve timing issues, DFT logic placement impacts, and integration concerns.

• Execute multiple rounds of design and timing improvements across all assigned partitions.

• Track and meet internal quality metrics for each iteration, ensuring final partitions meet foundry‑level signoff requirements ahead of December 2026 tapeout.

• Use Synopsys and Siemens tools to execute flow steps and validate results at each stage

Must‑Haves

• Strong hands‑on experience with Digital Implementation tools (Synopsys DC/Formality/PrimeTime, Cadence, and/or Siemens Tessent).

• Digital synthesis and DFT insertion experience.

• Proficiency in STA, LEC, and digital signoff methodologies.

• Experience supporting backend PNR teams (timing, constraints, debug).

• Background working with advanced FinFET process nodes (e.g., TSMC12 or below).

• Ability to drive multiple 2–3M instance digital partitions through repeated implementation iterations.

• Experience writing and refining SDC timing constraints.

Plusses

• 10+ years of implementation experience (not required;
