Senior Staff Engineer – Physical Design

Experience:
12–16 Years

Location:
Bengaluru Role Overview Seeking a highly experienced Physical Design Engineer with deep hands-on expertise in full-chip implementation, sign-off STA, and PPA optimization for complex ASIC/SoC designs. The role requires architectural ownership, solid technical judgment, and expertise in driving design closure.

Key Responsibilities
• Own full-chip physical implementation from floorplanning to routing and sign-off.
• Drive STA, timing budgeting, and timing closure across MMMC scenarios.
• Lead implementation and optimization using Cadence Innovus.
• Resolve complex setup/hold violations, congestion, signal integrity, and clocking challenges.
• Drive PPA optimization, ECOs, and synthesis-to-route timing correlation.
• Define physical design methodologies and implementation strategies for advanced SoC designs.



Required Technical Skills
• Robust hands-on expertise in full-chip Physical Design and sign-off STA.
• Proficiency in Cadence Innovus and Synopsys PrimeTime / Cadence Tempus.
• Expertise in floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and timing closure.
• Robust knowledge of MMMC, SDC, OCV/AOCV/POCV, SI, and parasitic analysis.
• Tcl scripting and physical design flow automation. Candidate Profile
• 12–16 years of relevant ASIC/SoC Physical Design experience.
• Strong architectural problem-solving and technical ownership.
• Proven experience driving complex full-chip implementation and tapeout closure.
• Hands-on technical leadership; not a people-management-focused role.
