Job Title:

Principal ASIC Physical Design Engineer

We Are

Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D; capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.

You Are

You are the person teams turn to when timing closure looks impossible and the clock tree feels like a puzzle with missing pieces. You know the difference between a design that passes signoff and one that ships with margin to spare, because you have spent years making those calls at 7nm and below. You do not just push buttons in ICC2 or PrimeTime—you know why a constraint matters, and you catch issues before they ripple downstream. When someone asks about integrating a tricky mixed-signal macro, you have a mental toolkit of what can go wrong and how to make it work.



You thrive on the hard problems: GHz-level timing, power optimization, and the reality of silicon bring-up. You want your work to show up in real products, not just in a tapeout report. Sharing what you know is second nature—mentoring junior engineers, reviewing a teammate’s floorplan, or explaining a tradeoff to a colleague in the US. You care about getting the details right, but you do not get stuck in them. You move projects forward, ask the right questions, and always look for a better way to do things.

What You'll Be Doing

Implement and integrate Physical Design for ASICs at advanced nodes (10nm, 7nm, 6nm and below) using tools like Synopsys ICC2, PrimeTime, and StarRC.
Drive timing closure for high-frequency designs above 4GHz, handling constraint management, analysis, and optimization.
Work hands-on with clock tree synthesis, skew balancing, and robust clock distribution for complex SoCs and IPs.
