Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Physical Design Engineer to join our team on a contract basis. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in ASIC/SoC physical design flows, including synthesis, floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, timing closure, and sign-off. This role requires hands-on experience with industry-standard EDA tools and a deep understanding of advanced technology nodes.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform RTL-to-GDSII implementation for complex SoCs or IP blocks.
- Execute floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and timing closure.
- Drive power, performance, and area (PPA) optimization.
- Conduct physical verification (DRC/LVS) and sign-off checks.
- Collaborate with RTL, DFT, and verification teams to resolve design issues.
- Work on multi-voltage, low-power design techniques and UPF/CPF flows.
- Support ECO implementation and tape-out activities.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- 5–12 years of experience in ASIC/SoC physical design.
- Strong knowledge of EDA tools (Synopsys ICC2/Fusion Compiler, Cadence Innovus, PrimeTime, Voltus, etc.).
- Expertise in timing analysis, signal integrity, and power analysis.
- Experience with advanced nodes (e.g., 16nm, 5nm).
- Familiarity with DFT insertion, low-power design, and multi-clock domain handling.
- Good understanding of physical verification and manufacturing sign-off.
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
- Experience in working on Automotive or Industrial MPU/MCU SoCs (preferred for safety-critical designs and compliance with standards like ISO 26262).
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with high-performance SoCs or complex IP blocks.
- Knowledge of EM/IR analysis and reliability checks.
- Familiarity with scripting languages (Tcl, Perl, Python) for flow automation.
