About the position

The Physical Design Architect role involves defining the physical architecture and driving physical aspects during the design cycle for high-speed digital designs. This position requires collaboration across various teams and hands-on experience with industry-standard tools for synthesis and place-and-route (PnR) in advanced process nodes.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with the logic design team to define physical architecture and drive physical aspects during the design cycle.
• Collaborate across teams including physical design, logic design, package, DFT, and test.
• Perform hands-on synthesis and PnR using industry-standard tools for high-speed digital designs in advanced process nodes.
• Conduct all aspects of sign-off including power, timing, physical verification checks, and design closure.

Requirements

• 15-20 years of experience in Physical Design and timing closure.
• Hands-on experience in synthesis, PnR, and STA using Cadence/Synopsys tools for complex digital designs in 7nm and below.
• Experience with multiple large SoC tapeouts in advanced nodes, including hands-on experience in chip-level physical design and STA closure.
• Strong experience in SOC/ASIC/GPU/CPU design flows on taped out designs, with expertise in timing closure at block/chip levels and ECO flows.
