We are looking for an experienced Physical Design Engineer / Technical Manager to drive the implementation of complex, low-power, high-performance ASIC and SoC designs at advanced technology nodes. If you're passionate about RTL-to-GDSII implementation, timing closure, and delivering world-class silicon, we'd love to connect.
In this role, you will:
Own the physical implementation of complex ASIC/SoC designs from logic synthesis through GDSII.
Perform floorplanning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, timing closure, IR drop, electromigration, and physical verification.
Drive physical-aware design decisions to optimize power, performance, and area (PPA).
Partner with RTL engineers to improve partitioning, resolve congestion and timing issues, and implement ECOs.
Develop automation using Tcl, Python, Perl, or Shell to improve implementation efficiency and quality.
Evaluate new EDA tools and collaborate with vendors to enhance physical design flows.
Deliver high-quality physical implementation for advanced process technologies (5nm and below).
Qualifications
12+ years of ASIC/SoC physical design and timing closure experience.
Strong understanding of RTL-to-GDSII implementation and successful tape-outs at 5nm or below.
Hands-on experience with DC/Genus, Innovus/ICC2, PrimeTime, RedHawk/Voltus, and Calibre.
Expertise in SoC floorplanning, power distribution, CTS, routing, and timing convergence for high-frequency designs.
Experience with large SoCs (>100M gates) operating above 1GHz.
Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Python, Perl, or Shell.
Excellent collaboration skills across cross-functional and global engineering teams.
