Physical Design Engineer

Responsibilities include (but are not limited to): • You will be participating in the leading-edge System-On-a-Chip (SoC) design projects using cuttingedge process technology nodes for various client applications. • Execute complete physical design flow from RTL to GDS (synthesis, floorplan, power grid, place and route, clock tree synthesis), participating in design/architecture reviews to track design milestones. • Evaluate and improve physical design methodologies to handle increasingly complex SoC/IP designs within aggressive, market-driven schedules. • Actively work as part of a team both locally and with remote or multi-site teams. • Actively assists full chip timing constraints development, full chip Static Timing Analysis, and timing signoff for a complex, multi-clock, multi-voltage SoC. • Actively assists in full chip physical verification activities including DRC and LVS convergence & EM/IR convergence

• Minimum of Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline. • Strong understanding of digital logic, VHDL/RTL representations, and Verilog. • Proficiency in Perl, TCL, and Python for CAD flow automation and optimization. • Experience with Synopsys EDA tools, including Fusion Compiler, PrimeTime, IC Validator, and VC Low‑Power. • Successful completion and/or tapeouts on advanced FinFET technology nodes (16nm, 12nm, 7nm, 5nm, 3nm), including low‑power design methodologies • Hands‑on experience with place‑and‑route (PnR) including floorplanning & clock tree synthesis (CTS), physical verification, timing convergence and IR drop analysis. • Experience in automated design flows and automated synthesis. Additional Skills: • Hands‑on experience with full‑chip or sub‑chip Static Timing Analysis, timing constraint development, and timing closure. • Experience with advanced sign‑off activities, including Lint, CDC, LEC, scan, and ECO flows. • Experience in top‑level physical implementation. • Experience with Cadence EDA tools, including Innovus, Tempus, Virtuoso, and Conformal Low‑Power. • Experience with power analysis and power optimization techniques.
