Physical Design Engineer

Project Role : Physical Design Engineer

Project Role Description : Translate logical circuit designs into a physical layout, optimizing for area, power, and timing. Perform placement, routing, and clock tree synthesis, ensuring the design meets timing and manufacturing constraints. Work closely with timing and verification teams to resolve any physical design issues before tape-out.

Must have skills : Physical Design

Good to have skills : NA

Minimum 3 Year(s) Of Experience Is Required

Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education

Summary:

As a Physical Design Engineer, a typical day involves transforming logical circuit schematics into detailed physical layouts while focusing on optimizing critical factors such as area, power consumption, and timing performance. The role includes executing placement and routing tasks, as well as synthesizing clock trees to ensure the design adheres to stringent timing and manufacturing requirements. Collaboration with timing and verification teams is essential to identify and resolve any physical design challenges prior to the tape-out stage, ensuring a seamless transition from design to production. This position demands a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous coordination across multiple teams to achieve high-quality deliverables.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Expected to perform independently and become an SME.
• Required active participation/contribution in team discussions.
• Contribute in providing solutions to work related problems.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to ensure design integrity and manufacturability.
• Maintain thorough documentation of design processes and decisions to support knowledge sharing and future reference.
• Assist junior team members by providing guidance and support to foster their professional growth.
  
  

Professional & Technical Skills:

• Must To Have Skills: Proficiency in Physical Design.
• Strong knowledge of placement and routing methodologies within integrated circuit design.
• Experience with clock tree synthesis and timing closure techniques.
• Familiarity with design for manufacturability and design rule checks.
• Ability to analyze and optimize power, area, and timing trade-offs in physical layouts.
• Competence in using electronic design automation tools relevant to physical design.
  
  

Additional Information:

• The candidate should have minimum 3 years of experience in Physical Design.
• This position is based at our Bengaluru office.
• A 15 years full time education is required.
