• Have the option to engage in block-level RTL design or block/top-level IP integration.
• Develop efficient methodologies to promote block-level SDCs to full-chip, and bring full-chip SDC changes back to block level.
• Ensure correctness and quality of SDCs early in the design cycle through effective methodology development and application.
• Review block-level SDCs and clocking diagrams, mentoring other RTL design owners on SDC development.
• Create full-chip clocking diagrams and related documentation.
