Associate Staff Physical Design Engineer

Meet the Team

Join a dynamic Physical Design team that drives end-to-end SoC implementation, from RTL to tape-out. We work closely with design, verification, and architecture groups to deliver high-performance, low-power solutions. Collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence define our culture—making this an exciting place to grow, lead, and make a real impact.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Lead Engineer – Physical Design to join our Silicon Engineering team in Hyderabad. In this role, you will drive the design, implementation, and optimization of advanced SoCs using state-of-the-art physical design methodologies. You will work on challenging synthesis, floorplanning, place-and-route, timing closure, and sign-off flows while mentoring a team of engineers and collaborating with cross-functional groups. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to world-class silicon solutions and grow as a technical leader.

Responsibilities

• Lead and execute the end-to-end physical design flow for complex SoCs and IP blocks (RTL handoff to GDSII).
• Define and drive strategies for floorplanning, CTS, placement, routing, and timing closure.
• Own and optimize PPA (Power, Performance, Area) metrics for assigned designs.
• Manage design constraints, synthesis strategies, and sign-off (timing, IR drop, EM, DRC / LVS).
• Collaborate with RTL, DFT, verification, and packaging teams for seamless integration.
• Drive EDA tool automation and methodology improvements for efficiency and scalability.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers to foster technical growth and excellence.
• Work with foundries and vendors on process bring-up, PDK updates, and tape-out readiness.
