Job description

Meta's Silicon Engineering team is building custom silicon solutions that power the infrastructure behind Meta's AI and data center workloads at scale. As an ASIC Engineer focused on Implementation, you will drive the physical realization of complex custom chips from RTL through tapeout, working across synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and signoff. In this role, you will collaborate with architecture, design, and verification teams to deliver high-performance, power-efficient silicon that meets aggressive PPA targets for Meta's next-generation infrastructure platforms.
ASIC Engineer, Implementation - Timing Responsibilities:
  • Develop Timing Constraints for RTL-Synthesis and PrimeTime-STA for the blocks and the top-level including SOC. Analyze the inter-block timing and come up with IO budgets for the various partition blocks
  • Develop SOC Timing Full chip Flat & Hierarchical Constraints for Functional & DFT Modes
  • Perform STA for full chip and Physical partition blocks using PrimeTime
  • Run Logic/Physical Synthesis using advanced optimization techniques and generate optimized Gate Level Netlist for Timing, Area, Power
  • Developing Automation scripts and Methodology for all FE-tools including ( Synthesis, STA)
  • Work closely with the Design Engineers, DV Engineers, Emulation Engineers in supporting them with the handoff tasks
  • Interact with Physical Design Engineers and provide them with timing/congestion feedback

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
