Physical Design Engineer

Physical Design Engineer

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

As a Physical Design Engineer, you will engage in the intricate process of transforming logical circuit designs into a tangible physical layout. Your typical day will involve optimizing designs for area, power, and timing, while performing essential tasks such as placement, routing, and clock tree synthesis. You will collaborate closely with timing and verification teams to address and resolve any physical design challenges prior to tape-out, ensuring that all designs adhere to stringent timing and manufacturing constraints. This role requires a keen attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving, as you work to deliver high-quality designs that meet project specifications.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Experience in Block/SoC Physical Design in the following topics:
• PnR tools like ICC2/Innovus with regards to physical/timing convergence 10nm / 7nm / 5nm process nodes
• Tapeout sign-off experience is a must using industry standard tools.
• Cadence Encounter/Synopsys ICC2 tool set
• SDC, STA and Equivalence checking
• Flow automation exposure will be an added advantage.
• Working knowledge of Unix, Linux and SKILL, Shell/Python Script ability.
• Quick learner with excellent interpersonal, verbal/written communications, problem solving and decision-making skills
• Expected to perform independently and become an SME.
• Required active participation/contribution in team discussions.
• Contribute in providing solutions to work related problems.
• Assist in the development and implementation of design methodologies to enhance efficiency.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment on design objectives and constraints.

Professional & Technical Skills:

• Must To Have Skills: Proficiency in Physical Design.
• Strong understanding of placement and routing techniques.
• Experience with clock tree synthesis and timing closure.
• Familiarity with industry-standard design tools and software.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes and design for manufacturability.
