mary:We are seeking an experienced Senior Physical Design Engineer with over 5 years of expertise in VLSI chip design and implementation. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in RTL-to-GDSII flow, SOC/block-level physical design, and tapeout experience in advanced technology nodes (7nm, 5nm, or below). This role involves leading physical design projects, mentoring junior engineers, and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams including RTL design, DFT, timing, and packaging t
eams.In the semiconductor and VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) industry, PNR, STA, EMIR and VCLP are core components of the Physical Design Engineer or Back-end Design job description. These roles focus on transforming a logical design (netlist) into a physical layout ready for manufactu
ring.
PNR (Place and
Route):Definition: The process of placing electronic components (macros and standard cells) and defining the wiring (routing) betwe
en them.Responsibilities: Includes floorplanning, power planning, clock tree synthesis (CTS), and routing to meet Performance, Power, and Area (PPA)
targets.Common Tools: Synopsys Fusion Compiler, Cadence Innovus, a

d ICC2
.STA (Static Timing An
alysis):Definition: A method of validating the timing performance of a design by checking all possible paths for timing violations without simulating the full
circuit.Responsibilities: Identifying and fixing setup and hold time violations to ensure the chip runs at its target fr
equency.Common Tools: Synopsys PrimeTime and Cadence
Tempus.
VCLP (Voltage-aware Check for Lo

at (UPF).Responsibilities: Checking for electrical rule violations related to multiple power domains, such as missing isolation cells or level
shiftersCommon Tool: Syno
