About the Role
The Physical Design team works in a startup-like environment within a global technology leader. Each engineer has true end-to-end ownership — from definition and execution through to full sign-off. You’ll collaborate closely with design and architecture teams, driving methodologies, solving convergence challenges, and delivering silicon from concept to tape-out.
In this role, you’ll also be part of the Technology Methodology & Execution team, developing methodologies and flows for multiple product lines and executing complex subsystems/IPs for our next-generation imaging radar SoCs. This is a chance to work hands-on with advanced nodes and high-speed interfaces while shaping the design process itself.
Key Responsibilities
* Act as block/IP owner from RTL to GDSII, ensuring horizontal domain coverage.
* Collaborate with architecture and front-end design teams to improve QoR, convergence, and design methodologies.
* Own the full implementation flow: Synthesis, DFT insertion, Floorplanning, Place & Route, and sign-off.
* Sign-off across STA, IR/EM, Physical Verification, Logic Equivalence Checking, and Low Power Verification.
* Explore and deploy new methodologies to enhance PPA and turnaround time.
* Evaluate emerging tools, technologies, and features to bring measurable innovation and ROI.
* Mentor and support other engineers, sharing expertise and driving team excellence.
Qualifications
* BSc or MSc in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
* 8+ years of experience in Physical Design.
* Strong background with advanced process nodes (5nm and below preferred).
* Familiarity with high-speed interfaces such as DDR/PCIe (a plus).
* Experience building or maintaining implementation flows and tools.
* Proficiency in scripting (Tcl, Python, Perl, TCSH).
* Strong team player with excellent communication skills and a proactive mindset.
