Experience Level:5+ years of STA CAD Job Description: STA CAD Engineer Location: Hyderabad and Bangalore

Role Summary We are looking for a Physical Design CAD Engineer with 5+ years of experience in developing, supporting, and optimizing CAD automation and implementation flows for advanced-node SoC physical design. The role requires strong technical depth in EDA tools, scripting, and PD methodologies. Key Responsibilities Develop, enhance, and maintain

physical design automation flows

for floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, ECO, and signoff. Build and support

PnR CAD infrastructure , ensuring smooth execution of end-to-end implementation flows. Create robust

automation scripts

using TCL/Python/Perl/Shell to improve productivity, runtime, and quality. Debug tool/run failures and provide

CAD-level support

to physical design teams. Collaborate with PD, STA, PV, and RTL teams to define and deploy

best-in-class implementation methodologies . Develop and maintain

timing, DRC, and LVS signoff flows , ensuring consistency across corners and technology nodes. Manage and maintain EDA tool setups, installation, runsets, PDK updates, and license configurations. Work with EDA vendors for

issue resolution , new feature evaluations, and methodology improvements.



Support and automate

UPF-based low-power flows

including power intent checks. Maintain flow documentation, regression suites, and continuous integration systems. Required Skills 5+ years
