Role Overview
As a Staff/Sr. Staff/Principal Physical Design Engineer at Velaura AI, you will be responsible for driving the physical implementation and sign-off of critical blocks for next-generation AI and high-performance computing silicon. You will own complex designs from RTL to GDSII, including synthesis, floorplanning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, timing closure, extraction, physical verification, EM/IR, and final sign-off. You will work closely with architecture, RTL, DFT, verification, STA, CAD, and product engineering teams to achieve aggressive Performance, Power, and Area (PPA) targets
on advanced process technologies. This is a highly visible technical role where you will contribute to physical design methodology, optimize implementation flows, solve complex design closure challenges, and help deliver world-class silicon.

Responsibilities
● Own critical design blocks and drive them from RTL to GDSII through synthesis, floorplanning, place and route, timing closure, and sign-off.
● Implement and optimize floorplans, power plans, placement, clock tree synthesis,



routing, extraction, and sign-off closure for high-performance designs.
● Drive timing convergence across multiple modes and corners while meeting aggressive frequency, power, area, and schedule goals.
● Work closely with RTL and architecture teams to understand micro-architecture and evaluate feasibility, timing, power, congestion, and area tradeoffs.
● Develop and improve physical design methodologies, implementation recipes, and automation flows to optimize PPA and improve design productivity.
● Perform logic synthesis, placement optimization, CTS, routing, timing ECOs, physical ECOs, extraction, and final sign-off activities.
● Analyze and resolve complex timing, congestion, clocking, signal integrity, power integrity, and physical verification issues.
● Perform physical verification and sign-off checks including DRC, LVS, ERC, antenna, density, metal fill, and layout quality che
