Role Summary

Own and drive clocking and Physical Design (PnR) methodologies for complex SoC/ASIC designs. Responsible for developing, validating, and maintaining implementation flows, clock-tree methodologies, timing correlation, QoR convergence strategies, and automation frameworks used across multiple projects.

Key Responsibilities

- Own end-to-end clocking methodology including CTS architecture, clock latency/skew management, clock QoR reviews, and timing convergence strategies.

- Develop, certify, and maintain PnR implementation flows across technology nodes and design styles.

- Drive flow correlation between Tile PnR, Full-Chip Timing (FCT), STA, and signoff environments to ensure predictable closure.

- Define implementation recipes, optimisation strategies, and best practices for timing, congestion, power, and area closure.

- Develop automation using Tcl/Python/Shell to improve productivity, debug efficiency, and flow robustness.

- Partner with CAD, FCFP, Timing, DFT, and Design teams to resolve methodology issues and improve project execution.

- Enable new technology nodes, validate EDA tool features, and drive methodology enhancements for future projects





Required Qualifications

- Bachelors/Masters degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.

- Strong understanding of ASIC Physical Design flow including Floorplanning, Placement, CTS, Routing, STA, ECO, IR/EM, and Physical Verification.

- Expertise in clock-tree synthesis, clock skew/latency optimisation, and timing closure methodologies.

- Experience with industry-standard tools such as Fusion Compiler, ICC2, Innovus, PrimeTime, Calibre, and RedHawk.

- Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Python, and Shell.

- Valuable debugging, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Experience

- Prior experience owning flow development, methodology certification, or automation projects.

- Experience across advanced technology nodes (5nm/3nm and below) is a plus.
