o    Analysis of pre-layout and post-layout timing reports and debug

o    Incremental update of constraint as and when it is required

o    Working with RTL,  DFT and PD teams independently and driving in timing closure both at sub system and full  chip level.

·         RTL PPA analysis (physical and power aware) at sub system levels for power, performance, area trade-off. This includes:

o    Running relevant EDA tool and generate reports

o    Analysing the reports

o    Working with RTL , PD teams to improve the quality of RTL and Physical implementation

·         Development of necessary scripts in TCL, Perl and/or Python for efficiency improvement
