Snap Inc (https://www.snap.com/en-US/) is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together. The Company’s three core products are Snapchat (https://www.snapchat.com/) , a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships with friends, family, and the world; Lens Studio (https://ar.snap.com/lens-studio) , an augmented reality platform that powers AR across Snapchat and other services; and its AR glasses, Spectacles (https://www.spectacles.com/) . We build Artificial Intelligence as close to natural as it gets. AI that feels alive. We deliver brain-inspired chips that behave like humans do. AI that makes machines assisting humans act, and react, in real time. AI that optimizes energy and maximizes efficiency, saving time, money, and vital natural resources. Welcome to an AI-Ready future! We apply state-of-the-art engineering practices towards building our designs in advanced silicon nodes (5nm, and below). You will be responsible for ensuring that our designs achieve specified timing, while maintaining low power and small silicon area. You will provide timely feedback to our ASIC design teams, in order to ensure that our architectures adhere to PPA requirements. You will work with other back-end teams to build our next generation IC. You will be integrated in a highly diverse international team of skilled engineers and scientists. What you’ll do: + Contribute to artificial intelligence ASIC, which will be used in wearable devices that lead to exciting launches of hardware at Snap + Contribute to all phase of the design from netlist to GDSII with a particular focus on physical implementation + You will drive our partners to ensure the execution is smooth and we reach our PPA targets. + Facilitate feedback to our design team on any architecture improvements needed to get the best design. + Architect floor plan strategy with the silicon design team + Define design partitioning together with external partners and our Silicon design teams + Work on timing closure and power closure + Lead DRC/LVS analysis and responsible for resolution of any related issues + Conduct physical design experiments for future chips to establish tradeoff for next generation products + Improve our CAD methodology to get better PPA + Be an integral part of a highly diverse international team of skilled engineers and scientists + Author clear and comprehensive documentation Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: + Ample experience with silicon back-end flows and PPA analysis for 12nm technology or below + Excellent understanding of physical aspects of silicon design, i.e. impact of design choices on timing, area, and power consumption + Extensive experience with timing closure and power optimization + Solid experience with building power grid and clock tree structures + Deep Understanding of Physical Design Verification methodology to debug LVS/DRC issues at chip/block level + A proven leader able to help grow and shape the organization to achieve our goals + Familiarity with low-power design techniques and methodologies, such as multi-voltage domains and power gating using UPF. + Experience with handling integration of mixed signal IP such as PCIe, MIPI, PLL, etc. + Experience in designing WLCSP chips with an emphasis in RDL design. + Solid programming and scripting skills (2+ years of e.g. C, SystemC, C++) + Proactive, flexible, team player with can-do attitude and excellent problem analysis skills + Proven experience in process development and documentation + Excellent written and verbal English communication Minimum Qualifications: + MSc degree in related field such as electrical engineering or equivalent years of experience + 7+ years of experience in similar roles in an industrial setting "Default Together" Policy at Snap: At Snap Inc. we believe that being together in person helps us build our culture faster, reinforce our values, and serve our community, customers and partners better through dynamic collaboration.
