We are seeking an experienced Lead Physical Design Engineer to drive the complete ASIC physical design flow from RTL to GDSII. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in synthesis, place and route (PNR), timing closure, signoff, and physical verification while leading a team of engineers on complex semiconductor projects.
In this role, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality silicon implementations, optimizing designs for performance, power, and area (PPA), and ensuring successful tape-out through close collaboration with RTL, STA, DFT, Analog, and Verification teams.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the complete RTL-to-GDSII implementation flow for complex ASIC and SoC designs.
Execute and oversee synthesis, floorplanning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and physical implementation.
Drive design planning activities, including partitioning, macro placement, bump planning, and routing strategies.
Optimize designs for timing,



power, congestion, and area while achieving design closure.
Perform physical verification and signoff, ensuring compliance with design and manufacturing requirements.
Work closely with RTL, STA, DFT, Analog, and Verification teams to resolve implementation challenges.
Integrate analog and mixed-signal IP blocks into digital designs while maintaining design quality.
Develop and optimize power grids and support low-power implementation methodologies.
Execute timing closure using ECO methodologies and optimize design performance.
Perform signoff activities, including Logical Equivalence Check (LEC), Reliability Verification (RV), Layout Verification (LV), Static Timing Analysis (STA), power analysis, and low-power verification.
Debug complex implementation and signoff issues to ensure successful tape-out.
Lead, mentor, and manage a team of physical design engineers while driving project execution a
