About the Company

As a Senior Physical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end implementation of complex SoCs at advanced process nodes (e.g., 7nm, 5nm, and below). You will work closely with the synthesis, STA, and DFT teams to deliver high-quality GDSII, ensuring all PPA (Power, Performance, Area) targets are met.

Responsibilities:
- Netlist-to-GDSII Flow: Execute the complete physical design flow, including Floorplanning, Placement, Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS), and Routing
- Timing Closure: Perform Static Timing Analysis (STA) and timing closure across all corners and modes (setup, hold, recovery, removal)
- Physical Verification: Own and resolve DRC, LVS, ERC, and Antenna violations using industry-standard tools
- Power Analysis: Conduct IR drop analysis (Static and Energetic) and EM (Electromigration) analysis to ensure robust power delivery
- Optimization: Implement area reduction techniques and low-power design methodologies (UPF/CPF)
- Collaboration:



Interface with the RTL and DFT teams to resolve design hurdles and provide feedback on physical constraints

Qualification:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.

Required Skills:
- lEDA Tools: Proficiency in industry-leading tools such as Innovus (Cadence) or ICC2 (Synopsys)
- Verification Tools: Hands-on experience with Calibre, Assura, or ICV.
- Methodology: Strong understanding of hierarchical design, multi-voltage domains, and congestion management.
- Nodes: Experience working on advanced process nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm).

Scripting: Ability to automate tasks using Tcl, Perl, or Python.

Preferred Skills:
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication skills for cross-functional team coordination.
