Job Requirements / Description
Physical Design Engineer
Looking for someone with a wide range of pre-silicon experience, including validation, implementation, CAD, and block-level design. We need someone that has good communication skills, is hands-on, and has broad experience with 8+ years’ experience, with 10 years being the sweet spot.
Overview: Seeking a hands-on Physical Design Engineer with 8–10 years of experience in pre-silicon validation, implementation, CAD, and block-level design. The ideal candidate will have strong technical expertise, excellent communication skills, and the ability to collaborate closely with customers and internal teams to ensure successful ASIC tapeouts.
Key Responsibilities: Perform pre-layout Static Timing Analysis (STA) to validate feasibility and timing constraints. Handle chip/block-level floorplanning, pin assignments, and clock tree synthesis (CTS). Execute placement, timing optimization, routing, and physical design tasks. Conduct sign-off tasks, including RC extraction, IR drop analysis, and physical verification. Engage with customers, frontend, and integration teams to address design challenges and ensure smooth execution. Present technical findings and participate in customer meetings.
Qualifications: BSEE with 5+ years of experience (MSEE preferred). ASIC Physical Design experience, with 28nm/16nm tapeout experience. Proficiency in EDA tools (ICC2/Innovus) and scripting (Perl/Tcl/Python). Strong knowledge of ASIC frontend design and both flat and hierarchical layouts. Experience with power analysis (PrimePower/Redhawk), Static Timing Analysis (Primetime), and Physical Verification. Strong problem-solving skills and ability to resolve timing, library, and CAD tool-related issues. Excellent communication and customer-facing skills.
