Physical Design Engineer - PnR

Physical Design Engineer Block-Level (PnR)

Job Summary :

We are looking for a highly motivated Physical Design Engineer with a solid background in block-level place and route (PnR) to join our silicon implementation team.

The ideal candidate will have at least 6 years of experience in block-level physical design with proven expertise in timing closure, DRC / LVS, and performance optimization.

This role will involve working on advanced technology nodes and collaborating closely with RTL, DFT, STA, and power teams to ensure successful design with AMD flows is a significant plus.

Required Qualifications :

• 6+ years of hands-on experience in block-level physical design using tools such as Synopsys ICC2, Cadence Innovus, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of PnR flows, including floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and optimization.
• Proficient in timing concepts, static timing analysis (STA), and logic equivalence checks (LEC).
• Experience in DRC / LVS closure and handling design signoff at advanced technology nodes.
• Proven ability to manage power, performance, and area (PPA) optimizations at the block level.
• Solid understanding and experience with ECO flows, including physical and functional ECO implementation.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• AMD flow experience is a strong plus .
