- Achieve timing closure in Ambiq's low-power designs
- Analyze power and implement changes to reduce power
- Analyze EMIR and implement fixes to meet the requirements
- Perform physical verification of the module
- Work closely with the digital design team in specifying power intent, timing constraints and addressing critical timing paths
- Work closely with the digital design team to establish best design practices for clock generators and other elements that require close interaction with CAD tools
- Explore the development of custom low-power methodologies both internally and in partnership with 3rd party tool providers

**Specific Experience**
- BS/MS in ECE/EE and 5-8 years of experience in the physical design required
- Experience in all phases of physical design (module and top level) from synthesis to place & route to physical verification.
- A deep knowledge of low power CAD techniques is extremely important.
- Programming proficiency in Perl and TCL
- Extensive knowledge of timing concepts and constraint development
- Skilled in all phases of physical design: synthesis, floor-planning, clock tree development, placement, and routing
- Understand power analysis, power calculations and low power techniques
- Experienced with power grid analysis
- Broad understanding of timing closure techniques
- Experienced with the use and development of CPF/UPF files is a plus
- Capable with physical verification tasks
- Expertise in RTL synthesis
- Motivated, self-driving engineer with attention to detail
