Lead Product Engineer - Genus & Innovus

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

Key Responsibilities - Foundry Design Service Team Support

• Develop and maintain Genus-to-Innovus digital implementation reference flows for foundry design service teams.
• Support RTL synthesis, floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and physical optimization for production SoC designs.
• Provide methodology guidance on timing closure, congestion mitigation, and power-aware implementation at advanced nodes.
• Support hierarchical and block-based implementation flows used in design services and multi-project environments.
• Diagnose and resolve convergence issues impacting timing, power, area, and routability in late design stages.
• Enable reusable, standardized implementation flows across multiple foundry design service programs.

• Support foundry-preferred synthesis and place-and-route methodologies aligned with signoff expectations.
• Enable consistent constraint handling (SDC, UPF) across RTL synthesis and physical implementation stages.
• Support power-intent driven implementation flows including low-power optimization and power domain integration.
• Provide guidance on advanced-node challenges such as routing congestion, multi-patterning-aware placement, and CTS robustness.
• Support integration of Genus and Innovus flows with signoff tools such as Tempus, Quantus, Voltus, and Pegasus.
• Assist design service teams with ECO implementation, late-stage timing closure, and tapeout readiness.
