Job Summary

We are looking for a skilled Physical Design Engineer to support end-to-end ASIC/SoC implementation from netlist/RTL to GDSII. The engineer will be responsible for physical implementation, timing closure, PPA optimization, physical verification, and sign-off while working closely with RTL, synthesis, STA, DFT, and verification teams.

Key Responsibilities
Execute the complete physical design flow: - Floorplanning - Power planning - Placement - Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS) - Routing - Optimization - ECO implementation - Physical sign-off - Perform Static Timing Analysis (STA) and resolve setup, hold, transition, and clock violations. - Analyze and optimize timing, power, area, congestion, and signal integrity. - Work on MMMC (Multi-Mode Multi-Corner) implementation and timing closure. - Develop and review timing constraints, including SDC, clocks, generated clocks, and timing exceptions. - Perform physical verification and sign-off activities including DRC, LVS, antenna, EM/IR, and power integrity checks. - Debug placement, routing, congestion, timing, and physical-design violations. - Collaborate with RTL, synthesis, STA, DFT, power, and verification teams to achieve project milestones.



- Support tape-out activities and ensure design quality meets performance, power, area, and reliability targets. - Develop and improve implementation flows using Tcl/Python/Perl/Shell scripting. - Participate in methodology development and automation initiatives.

Required Technical Skills
Robust understanding of ASIC/VLSI Physical Design flow from RTL/Netlist to GDSII. - Positive knowledge of: - Floorplanning - Placement - CTS - Routing - Timing closure - ECO - Physical verification - Power planning - Solid understanding of setup/hold timing and STA. - Knowledge of MMMC analysis and timing constraints. - Experience with industry-standard EDA tools such as: - Cadence Innovus - Synopsys ICC2/Fusion Compiler - Synopsys PrimeTime - Cadence Tempus - Calibre/ICV - Scripting knowledge in Tcl, Python, Perl, or Shell. - Understanding of DRC, LVS, EM/IR and power integrity is preferred. - Exposure to low-power design/UPF and advanced technology nodes is an advantage.

Education
B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication, VLSI, Microelectronics, or a related field.
