Full Job Description
**Position Summary** Samsung, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, is founded on a simple philosophy – the endless pursuit of excellence will create a better world for all. At Samsung Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) and Advanced Computing Lab (ACL), we are building a center of excellence for Intellectual Property (IP) that is applied to high-performance computing devices (mobile, automotive, and other custom market segments) consumed by millions of people around the world. Come build with us! **Role and Responsibilities** You will join our growing Global Advanced Technology Enablement team that is specialized in driving technology development across Samsung System LSI business. We engage with Foundry partners from the very early phase to thoroughly explore target technology for next-generation SoC products. As a highly experienced DTCO engineer, you will help propel Samsung SARC/ACL’s innovation forward by building highly efficient design and analysis flows and methodologies for DTCO. With strong expertise in digital design flows spanning synthesis, PnR, EM/IR, STA, PV and large-design space exploration, you will drive collaboration with the IP development teams to ensure process technology, design rule, standard cell design and design methodology changes are consumable throughout the product development cycle to meet or exceed product key performance indicators. * You are an innovator. You are skilled at developing CAD flows for custom design with a mindset to continuously push the PPA (power/performance/area) envelope on aggressive designs with a high level of automation for DTCO needs. * You have a curious mindset and thrive on navigating the unknown through innovation and continuous learning. You will explore a methodology to achieve low-power and high-performance goals for Samsung-specific SOC design styles. * You have expertise in one or many technical areas, including concepts of logic/physical synthesis, automated place and rout
