Physical Design Engineer

We are seeking a skilled and highly motivated Physical Design Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the independent planning and execution of the entire Netlist-to-GDSII flow, demonstrating a strong understanding of all physical design aspects and methodologies. This role requires technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to guide junior engineers.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Responsible for

  independent planning and execution of the Netlist-to-GDSII

  flow.
• Demonstrate strong exposure to all aspects of design flows, including

  floor planning, placement, Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS), routing, crosstalk analysis, and physical verification

  .
• Possess good exposure to

  high-frequency design convergence

  and a solid understanding of

  physical design methodology

  .
• Work independently in all areas of

  RTL to GDSII implementation

  .
• Exhibit the ability to

  collaborate effectively and resolve issues

  related to constraints validation, verification, Static Timing Analysis (STA), and overall physical design.
• Apply knowledge of

  low power flow

  concepts such as

  power gating, multi-VT flow, and power supply management

  .
• Possess

  circuit-level comprehension of time-critical paths

  within the design.
• Utilize

  Tcl/Perl scripting

  for automation and efficiency.
• Be willing to

  handle technical deliveries

  and provide guidance to a team of engineers.
• Be well-versed with

  level timing closure (STA)

  , various

  timing closure methodologies

  , and

  ECO (Engineering Change Order) generation

  for predictable convergence.
• Be well-versed with

  parasitic extraction, LVS (Layout Versus Schematic)/DRC (Design Rule Checking)

  , and other

  Physical Verification checks

  .
• Provide

  clear directions to the team

  regarding

  Place & Route (PNR) issues

  .
• Understand

  deep sub-micron design problems and solutions

  , including

  leakage power, signal integrity, and DFM (Design For Manufacturability)

  .

Education:

• B.E/B.Tech or M.E/M.Tech/M.S in Electrical or Electronics

  engineering.
