Senior/Principal Physical Design Engineer
Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced Physical Design / P&R Engineer to take a key role in delivering complex, high-performance ASICs from RTL/netlist through GDSII and tapeout. You’ll own critical aspects of physical implementation, including floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, timing closure, and PPA optimization, working with advanced technologies such as RISC-V, DDR, and SerDes. Using industry-leading tools including Synopsys Fusion Compiler and Siemens Calibre, you’ll solve challenging physical design problems and help drive successful silicon outcomes. This is an opportunity to make a significant technical impact while collaborating with a highly experienced, multidisciplinary ASIC engineering team.
Essential Duties and Qualifications:
• Analyze and optimize designs to meet power, performance, and area (PPA) objectives while satisfying timing, signal integrity, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
• Collaborate closely with RTL design, verification, DFT, analog/mixed-signal, packaging, and other engineering teams to ensure successful chip integration.
• Develop and optimize floorplans incorporating complex IP and high-speed interfaces, including DDR and SerDes.
• Develop, maintain, and improve physical design flows, scripts, methodologies, and automation to increase efficiency and design quality.
• Identify and resolve congestion, routing, timing, power integrity, and physical verification issues throughout the implementation process.
• Participate in design reviews and provide recommendations regarding floorplanning, physical architecture, implementation strategy, and PPA tradeoffs.
• Perform full-chip physical design implementation from synthesized netlist through GDSII, including floorplanning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, optimization, and timing closure.
• Perform physical verification and signoff activities using Siemens Calibre, including DRC and LVS verification and resolution of physical design violations.
• Perform static timing analysis and drive timing closure across multiple operating modes, process corners, and design constraints.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to other engineers and contribute to the continued development of the team's internal physical design capabilities.
• Support final design signoff and tapeout, ensuring all applicable physical design and verification requirements have been satisfied.
• Support integration and physical implementation of third-party and internally developed IP blocks.
• Support the physical implementation and integration of RISC-V processor-based designs and subsystems, including timing, power, and physical design considerations.
• Troubleshoot complex implementation and signoff issues and drive corrective actions through resolution.
• Utilize Synopsys Fusion Compiler for physical implementation, optimization, and design closure.
Qualifications:
• 10+ years of direct industry experience with ASIC and/or SoC design.
• BSEE/MSEE or equivalent
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Experience with industry standard development tools and methodologies.
• Familiarity with RISC architectures (e.g., ARM, MIPS).
• Proficiency in Synopsys Design Compiler and other EDA tools.
• Proven track record of first-pass successes.
• Self-starter with the ability to assume leadership roles.
• Strong background in RTL based digital IC design using Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Strong understanding of digital design principles.
• Willingness to mentor and develop less experienced engineers.
