We are seeking an experienced Physical Design Engineer with 6–15 years of industry experience to join our VLSI/ASIC engineering team. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on expertise across the physical implementation flow, with particular emphasis on Cadence Innovus and Static Timing Analysis (STA). You will be responsible for taking designs from netlist through physical implementation, optimization, timing closure, and sign-off while working closely with RTL, synthesis, STA, and verification teams.
Key Responsibilities
Perform end-to-end physical design activities including floorplanning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, optimization, and physical verification.
Develop and implement physical design strategies for complex digital blocks and full-chip designs.
Use Cadence Innovus extensively for placement, CTS, routing, timing optimization, and design closure.




Analyze timing reports and perform STA to identify setup and hold violations and drive timing closure.
Work on congestion analysis, placement optimization, buffering, cell sizing, and other techniques to improve PPA and timing.
Perform clock-tree analysis and optimization to manage skew, latency, transition, and clock-related constraints.
Collaborate with synthesis and RTL teams to resolve timing, area, power, and physical-design challenges.
Debug implementation issues and develop effective solutions to achieve design goals within schedule and PPA constraints.
Review and validate design constraints, timing exceptions, clock definitions, and implementation quality.
Support physical sign-off activities and ensure designs meet required performance, power, and reliability targets.
Participate in methodology improvements, automation, flow development, and physical design optimization initiatives.
