Senior Physical Design Engineer

Location- Bengaluru

Experience -5+years

About the Role

At our core, we build silicon that powers products used by millions worldwide. As a Senior Physical Design Engineer, you'll be part of a high‑impact team driving next‑generation SoC designs. You'll own critical blocks, push boundaries in performance, power, and area, and collaborate with global teams to deliver tape‑outs at advanced nodes. This is a role for engineers who thrive on solving complex problems and want to see their work make a global impact.

What You'll Do

• End‑to‑End Ownership
• Drive floorplanning, synthesis, place & route, timing closure, power optimization, and sign‑off for complex blocks.
• Ensure designs meet aggressive PPA targets while hitting schedule milestones.
• Innovation & Impact
• Develop and deploy new methodologies to accelerate design closure.
• Champion automation and scripting to scale productivity across teams.
• Contribute to silicon that defines the future of computing.
• Collaboration at Scale
• Partner with RTL, DFT, and packaging teams to deliver manufacturable designs.
• Work closely with global engineering teams, EDA vendors, and foundries to resolve challenges.

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience in physical design with successful tape‑outs at advanced nodes (7nm or below preferred).
• Deep expertise in industry‑standard EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor).
• Strong background in timing analysis, power optimization, and signal integrity.
• Proficiency in scripting (Tcl, Python, Perl) for flow automation.
• Excellent communication and problem‑solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high‑performance CPU/GPU/AI accelerator designs.
• Exposure to distributed team collaboration across geographies.
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, ambiguous environment.

About Us:

LeadSoC Technologies offers cutting edge Engineering Design services in VLSI and Embedded Systems. We have been growing rapidly over the last 9+ years to meet the evolving needs of the Semiconductor, Automotive, Telecom and Consumer Electronics segments. Our End-to-End VLSI design services span Micro Architecture to Tape Out and beyond with Post Silicon support. We have been involved in co-development of multiple SOC releases for our clients. LeadSoC has in house VLSI labs equipped with state of art tools (from leading EDA OEM's) for grooming talent. We work on SOC's, FPGA and ASIC platforms in areas spanning Digital Front End Design & Verification, Back End Design (RTL=> GDS), Analog & Custom Design & Verification. We also work on RF & Board Design for OEMs. Our Software practice works in areas spanning Firmware design, Hardware Abstraction, Kernel Space & User space design. We work on both bare metal and RTOS/Linux like platforms across x86, ARM, MIPS & Power PC architectures across multiple chipsets. Our presence in Concept to Manufacturing, spans across a broad spectrum of capabilities including Board Design, Platform Software solutions (Boot Loader, Bare Metal Firmware, Drivers/BSP, Abstraction layers), Middleware (Stacks, Frameworks, diagnostics), Target application, HMI (industry standard frameworks), IoT and Cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) applications and V&V services. We have an embedded Software COE with in-house Labs, powered by open-source tool chain equipped with variety of reference boards. This environment enables our engineers to play while they learn. It also creates an environment for the engineers to ideate / create reference Solutions, POC designs. Our teams have been involved in providing frameworks for On-board Diagnostics, Manufacturing diagnostics, Post & Pre-Silicon Validation and Performance Optimization for products based on Linux / RTOS platforms. We have also worked on migrating stacks from legacy to NextGen platforms.
