We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Physical Design Engineer with 4–8 years of experience in ASIC Physical Design, Place & Route (PnR), and Timing Closure. The ideal candidate will take ownership of block-level physical design activities from floorplanning to signoff while ensuring high-quality, timely project delivery. This role requires solid technical expertise in physical implementation tools, timing analysis, and physical verification, along with the ability to mentor team members and drive project execution.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and manage the complete physical design implementation of multiple block-level designs from floorplanning through signoff.
Own block-level Place & Route (PnR), timing closure, and physical verification activities while ensuring adherence to quality, power, performance, and area (PPA) goals.
Guide and mentor team members in resolving complex PnR, congestion, routing, timing, and implementation challenges.
Perform floorplanning,



placement optimization, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and physical optimization using industry-standard EDA tools.
Drive timing convergence across multiple process corners and operating modes using static timing analysis methodologies.
Collaborate with RTL, synthesis, DFT, verification, and design teams to resolve implementation issues and improve overall design quality.
Analyze and close setup/hold timing violations, signal integrity issues, and optimization bottlenecks.
Execute physical verification including DRC, LVS, ERC, IR Drop, and Electromigration (EM) analysis, ensuring successful signoff.
Develop and maintain implementation flows, automation scripts, and productivity tools to improve design efficiency.
Manage project schedules, track milestones, communicate progress, and proactively identify project risks.
Review timing constraints, validate implementation assumptions, and
