Physical Design Engineer

We are seeking a skilled and enthusiastic Digital Physical Design Engineer to contribute to the physical implementation of complex digital integrated circuits. This role involves working on various stages of the physical design flow, from synthesis to tape-out, ensuring performance, power, and area targets are met.

Job Responsibilities

* Execute physical design activities including floorplanning, power planning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, and static timing analysis (STA).

* Perform physical verification (DRC, LVS, Antenna) and resolve related issues.

* Conduct power integrity analysis (IR drop, EM) and optimize designs for power efficiency.

* Participate in design-for-test (DFT) implementation and verify test structures.

* Collaborate with design, verification, and DFT teams to ensure seamless integration and achieve project milestones.

* Analyze and resolve design issues related to timing, area, and power.

* Develop and maintain scripts for automation and efficiency improvements in the physical design flow.

* Contribute to the continuous improvement of physical design methodologies and flows.

* Generate comprehensive reports and documentation of design implementation.

Job Qualifications

* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, or a related field.

* Minimum 4 years of experience in digital physical design of complex SoCs or ASICs.

* Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools for physical design (e.g., Synopsys Fusion Compiler/Innovus, Cadence Genus/Tempus/Voltus/Pegasus, Mentor Calibre, Synopsys Primetime).

* Solid understanding of physical design concepts including floorplanning, placement, routing, clock tree synthesis, and physical verification.

* Strong knowledge of Static Timing Analysis (STA) and timing closure techniques.

* Experience with scripting languages such as Tcl, Perl, or Python.

* Familiarity with deep sub-micron process technologies.

* Good understanding of VLSI design principles and semiconductor physics.

* Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

* Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.

* Good communication skills, both written and verbal.
