Job Title

Physical Design EngineerJob SummaryThe Physical Design Engineer will be responsible for the full-chip and/or block-level physical implementation of complex digital, mixed-signal, or RF integrated circuits from RTL to GDSII (the final manufacturing data). This role requires expertise in design methodologies to achieve optimal performance, power, and area (PPA) targets while ensuring manufacturability.Key Responsibilities- Physical Implementation Flow: Own and execute all phases of the physical design flow, including: - Synthesis (RTL to Netlist). - Floorplanning and Partitioning (defining block boundaries, pin placement, and power grid planning). - Power Rail/Grid Design and analysis (EM/IR Drop). - Place and Route (Placement of standard cells and macro blocks, followed by signal routing). - Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS): Design and optimize the clock network for minimal skew and latency. - Timing Closure: Perform Static Timing Analysis (STA), identify critical paths, and implement design optimization techniques (e.g., buffering, sizing, ECOs) to meet all frequency and timing constraints (setup/hold).Required Qualifications and SkillsEducation- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), Electronics Engineering, VLSI, or a related field.Technical Skills & Experience- Experience: 5+ years of experience in physical design, with a proven track record of tape-outs in advanced process nodes (e.g., 16nm, 7nm, 5nm, or lower). - EDA Tools: Expert proficiency with industry-standard Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools from vendors like Synopsys (e.g., Fusion Compiler, ICC2, Primetime), Cadence (e.g., Innovus), or Mentor Graphics.Soft Skills- Excellent analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills. - Strong verbal and written communication skills. - Ability to work effectively in a team environment and collaborate across different engineering disciplines.Experience Level :- 5yrs to 10yrsNotice Period :- Immediate to 90 DaysWork Location :- BangaloreMode of Work :- WFOEmployment Type :- Permanent
