Role Summary

Own and drive clocking and Physical Design (PnR) methodologies for complex SoC/ASIC designs. Responsible for developing, validating, and maintaining implementation flows, clock-tree methodologies, timing correlation, QoR convergence strategies, and automation frameworks used across multiple projects.

Key Responsibilities

Own end-to-end clocking methodology including CTS architecture, clock latency/skew management, clock QoR reviews, and timing convergence strategies.
Develop, certify, and maintain PnR implementation flows across technology nodes and design styles.
Drive flow correlation between Tile PnR, Full-Chip Timing (FCT), STA, and signoff environments to ensure predictable closure.
Define implementation recipes, optimisation strategies, and best practices for timing, congestion, power, and area closure.
Develop automation using Tcl/Python/Shell to improve productivity, debug efficiency, and flow robustness.
Partner with CAD, FCFP, Timing, DFT, and Design teams to resolve methodology issues and improve project execution.
Enable new technology nodes, validate EDA tool features, and drive methodology enhancements for future projects

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.
Strong understanding of ASIC Physical Design flow including Floorplanning, Placement, CTS, Routing, STA, ECO, IR/EM, and Physical Verification.
Expertise in clock-tree synthesis, clock skew/latency optimisation, and timing closure methodologies.
Experience with industry-standard tools such as Fusion Compiler, ICC2, Innovus, PrimeTime, Calibre, and RedHawk.
Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Python, and Shell.
Good debugging, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Experience

Prior experience owning flow development, methodology certification, or automation projects.
Experience across advanced technology nodes (5nm/3nm and below) is a plus.
