Senior Design Engineer

Responsibilities:

Worked on five different atom based SOC products and have hands on experience on FC floor planning, bump map and power grid robustness checking. Have experience in cross - site cross-team environment.
Digital verification works: Developed UVM based test benches in system verilog for block-level functional verification in clear case Env.
Created and maintained detailed verification plans and reviewed them.
Generated and ran UPF based test cases on logic simulation models
Debugged functional errors in the RTL model, using Verdi debug tool and based on in-depth understanding of the architecture and RTL.
Defined and implemented functional coverage, and enhancing test bench to ensure coverage closure.
Mixed signal verification works on block level: Analyzed the analog circuit functionality to insure that both RTL and circuit designers correctly implemented the circuit specification and that the circuit complies with all required external and platform specifications using Verilog AMS model.
Used full featured transistor level simulation engine XA that delivers SPICE accuracy while maintaining Fast-SPICE performance and capacity. Implemented design improvement, tool and methodology refinement in RTL model and SPICE NETLIST,
Validated design by identifying and exercising special cases for specific test, Debugged performance issues and test failures and provided robust functional fixes,
Developed dedicated verification environments and tools using UNIX, while driving a complex process of exercising the design to verify its logical correctness.
Strong discipline and attention to detail in ensuring effective and high quality validation that minimizes bug escapes and fixes.
Reliability verification works as design Engineer on FULL chip/block level: Owned the FC RV (IR EM) analysis on atom based SOC Moorestown. Basically performed power and signal robustness checking.
Executed extensively FC static and dynamic IR drop analysis, FC EM analysis using Redhawk.
Performed transient analysis (ramping up or ramping down one block while the other blocks are in active mode) using Redhawk tool. Developed and Ran CPM modeling in order to estimate R die and Cdie of Chip using Redhawk tool. Ran Block level IR drop on GFX block, register files etc.
Used Spice Modeling for the register files for Atom based latest SOC product for generating dynamic current profile using Totem after doing lot of circuit simulations.
Reliability verification flow works on FULL chip/block level: Developed, validated the Reliability Verification flow (EM,SH and IR drop) based on drive and supported the customer across the board in Atom team and released the new version whenever it was available and finalized POR version for tool.
Resolved different issues that were related to RV tools
ESD flow Work: Performed ESD verification on atom based SOC product for verifying the FC level clamp placement and latchup condition.
Developed, validated the ESD verification flow and supported the customers across the board in Atom team and released the new version whenever it was available and finalized POR version for tool.
RFS memory/circuit design works: Designed and developed Custom Register file for atom based product. Developed the schematic, layout, ran lvs, did the formal equivalence check, performed timing analysis, ERC and rv analysis i.e. from rtl to gds file generation for RFS. Ported the bit slice schematic for RF from earlier version. Made the necessary transistor adjustments and scaling.
