We are seeking an experienced Physical Design Engineer to join our semiconductor engineering team and contribute to the successful implementation of complex ASIC and SoC designs. The ideal candidate will have 7–12 years of hands-on experience in end-to-end ASIC physical design, with strong expertise in Cadence Innovus, TSMC advanced process technologies, and the complete physical implementation flow from synthesis handoff through tape-out.
This role requires a strong understanding of timing, power, area, and signal integrity optimization, along with the ability to deliver high-quality silicon designs while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams. The position offers an opportunity to work on advanced semiconductor technologies and high-performance chip development projects.

Requirements
Key Responsibilities




- Execute the complete ASIC physical design flow from synthesis handoff to tape-out for complex SoC and ASIC designs.
- Perform floorplanning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and physical optimization using Cadence Innovus.
- Drive timing closure while optimizing power, performance, and area (PPA) across all stages of physical implementation.
- Perform signal integrity analysis, congestion optimization, and design rule compliance to ensure robust chip implementation.
- Work with TSMC advanced technology nodes and implement designs according to process-specific requirements and best practices.
- Collaborate with RTL, Design, DFT, STA, and Verification teams to resolve implementation challenges and achieve project milestones.
- Analyze and resolve setup and hold timing violations, congestion issues, and physical design bottlenecks.
- Support engineering change orders (ECOs) and implement design modifications during the physical design cycle.
