Responsibilities

• Work closely with the logic design team to define physical architecture.
• 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.
• Conduct all aspects of sign-off including power, timing, physical verification checks, and design closure.

Requirements

• 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.
• Hands-on experience in chip-level physical design and STA closure.
• Strong experience in SOC/ASIC/GPU/CPU design flows on taped out designs.
• Expertise in timing closure at block/chip levels and ECO flows.
