We are looking for a talented Physical Design Engineer (PNR) with 2–6 years of experience in ASIC physical design to join our semiconductor engineering team. The ideal candidate should have hands-on expertise across the complete physical design flow, with solid proficiency in Floorplanning, Power Planning, Placement, Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS), and Place & Route (PNR). You will work closely with front-end design, timing, DFT, and verification teams to deliver high-performance, power-efficient, and manufacturable chip designs for advanced technology nodes.
This role offers an opportunity to work on cutting-edge semiconductor products while contributing to challenging design implementations and optimization activities.
Key Responsibilities
Execute complete Place & Route (PNR) flow for complex ASIC and SoC designs.
Develop and optimize floorplans considering performance, congestion, power, and area constraints.




Perform power planning, including power grid design, IR drop considerations, and power integrity optimization.
Carry out standard cell placement with a focus on timing, congestion, and routability.
Implement Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS) to achieve timing closure while minimizing clock skew and latency.
Perform routing, design optimization, and engineering change orders (ECOs) to meet design objectives.
Analyze and resolve timing violations across setup, hold, and signal integrity constraints.
Collaborate with RTL, DFT, timing, and verification teams throughout the implementation cycle.
Support physical verification activities including DRC, LVS, antenna, and electrical rule checks.
Optimize designs for power, performance, and area (PPA) while ensuring high-quality implementation.
Debug implementation issues and recommend improvements to enhance design efficiency and productivity.
Maintain implemen
