Job Description

Key Responsibilities
- Lead MCU/subsystem/block-level closure efforts, focusing on timing closure, congestion resolution, power integrity, and physical implementation.
- Collaborate closely with SoC-level teams to align on clocking and floor planning strategies, leveraging solid understanding of SoC methodologies without direct ownership of SoC-level activities.
- Work on the different power domains and implement UPF.
- Apply knowledge of clocking methodologies to ensure subsystem clock domain integration aligns with overall SoC clock architecture.
- Develop and refine subsystem closure methodologies and automation flows to improve design quality and efficiency.
- Mentor and guide physical design engineers within the subsystem teams, promoting best practices and methodology adoption.
- Work cross-functionally with RTL designers, STA, power, verification, and backend teams to ensure smooth subsystem integration and closure.
- Proactively identify and mitigate physical design risks, coordinating with SoC teams on potential impacts and solutions.

Qualifications




- Education :M.Tech/ B.Tech in Electrical Engineering
- 7+ years of experience in physical design focusing on subsystem-level closure for complex hierarchical SoCs at advanced nodes (7nm, 5nm, or below).
- Strong expertise in timing closure, congestion management, and physical implementation at the block and subsystem level.
- Solid understanding of SoC-level floorplanning and clocking methodologies, including clock domain partitioning, clock tree architecture, skew management, and clock gating; candidate is expected to collaborate effectively on SoC-level activities but not lead them.
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard physical design and timing tools such as Synopsys ICC2, Cadence Innovus, PrimeTime, and signoff platforms.
- Proficient in scripting and automation (Tcl, Python, Perl) to support closure flows and methodology development.
- Deep knowledge of SoC design flows with prov
