Job Title: Principal Physical Design Engineer (RTL-to-GDSII)

Experience: 14-20 Years

Technology Focus: Sub-5nm (3nm/2nm)

Location: Bangalore Hybrid

The Vision





We are seeking a Principal Physical Design Engineer who thrives on complexity and rejects the "black box" approach to EDA tools. This role is for a First Principles thinker who questions the status quo. If a standard flow isn't yielding the desired PPA (Power, Performance, Area), you dive into the PDK, the tool algorithms, and the methodology to find a better way. You are responsible for transforming raw RTL into world-class silicon by eliminating systemic bottlenecks and building a scalable, predictable path to GDSII.

Key Responsibilities
Full-Flow Ownership: Lead the implementation of massive, high-speed blocks/So Cs from Synthesis through Sign-off using the Cadence Digital Suite. PPA Optimization: Push the theoretical limits of the PDK and tools. You will analyze and optimize the interplay between library cells, metal stacks, and tool engines to squeeze out every millivolt and picosecond. Methodology & Scalability: Build and refi
