Senior Physical Design Engineer

We are hiring a hands on Physical Design Lead who can take ownership of complex blocks and close them with confidence. If timing closure excites you more than presentations, this is your space.

The Mandate

Execute block-level physical design from floorplan to GDS

Drive placement, CTS, routing, and PPA optimization

Close timing across corners with strong setup/hold discipline

Resolve congestion, SI, and power integrity challenges

Run signoff checks including DRC, LVS, IR, EM

Collaborate closely with RTL, STA, and DFT teams

Improve flow efficiency through scripting and automation

The Profile

713 years of ASIC Physical Design experience

Strong hands-on expertise in advanced nodes (16nm and below preferred)

Proven timing closure experience on high-performance designs

Experience with ICC2 / Fusion Compiler / Innovus

Scripting knowledge (Tcl / Python preferred)

Exposure to low-power design (UPF, power gating) is an advantage

Execution-focused. Technically demanding. Tapeout-driven.
