Job Description

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Principal Engineer / Senior Manager – Physical Design Lead to lead the implementation and delivery of next-generation, high-performance SoC products built on advanced process technologies. This role will be responsible for driving the complete physical design execution of large-scale SoCs, from floorplanning through tape-out, while achieving aggressive performance, power, area, and schedule targets.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record delivering complex 3nm and/or 5nm SoCs, with deep expertise in physical implementation of extremely high-speed designs incorporating large digital subsystems, high-speed SerDes interfaces, mixed-signal blocks, and advanced power management architectures.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead the end-to-end physical design execution of large and complex SoCs from floorplanning through GDS signoff.
- Own implementation strategy, execution planning, risk management, and tape-out readiness.
- Drive floorplanning, power planning, placement,



clock tree synthesis, routing, timing closure, signal integrity, IR/EM closure, and physical verification.
- Collaborate closely with architecture, RTL, verification, DFT, package, analog, and product engineering teams to optimize implementation quality and schedule.
- Define chip-level implementation methodologies and best practices to achieve challenging frequency, power, and area goals.
- Lead timing closure for complex multi-clock, high-frequency designs.
- Partner with package and system teams to optimize overall product performance and signal integrity.
- Drive implementation of advanced low-power architectures and ensure successful power-performance-area (PPA) optimization.
- Lead physical design reviews, signoff reviews, and tape-out milestones.
- Mentor senior physical design engineers and establish implementation excellence across the organization.
