Greetings from ACL DigitalWe are looking for STA CAD Engineers.Experience Level:5+ years of STA CAD Job Description: STA CAD Engineer Location: Hyderabad and BangaloreRole 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 maintainphysical design automation flowsfor floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, ECO, and signoff. Build and supportPnR CAD infrastructure , ensuring smooth execution of end-to-end implementation flows. Create robustautomation scriptsusing TCL/Python/Perl/Shell to improve productivity, runtime, and quality. Debug tool/run failures and provideCAD-level supportto physical design teams. Collaborate with PD, STA, PV, and RTL teams to define and deploybest-in-class implementation methodologies . Develop and maintaintiming, 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 forissue resolution , new feature evaluations, and methodology improvements. Support and automateUPF-based low-power flowsincluding power intent checks. Maintain flow documentation, regression suites, and continuous integration systems. Required Skills 5+ yearsof experience in PD CAD / Design Automation roles in SoC or ASIC development. Strong proficiency in scripting:TCL, Python, Shell(Perl is a plus). Deep understanding ofphysical design flows(RTL→GDS), including timing closure and power optimization. Hands-on experience with major EDA tools such as: Synopsys ICC2 / Fusion Compiler Cadence Innovus / Voltus Calibre DRC/LVS PrimeTime / Tempus Knowledge ofUPF , multi-voltage/multi-domain design flows. Experience working on7nm / 5nm / 3nm nodespreferred. Familiarity with version control systems (Git/Perforce). Preferred Skills Experience withOpenAccess databases . Exposure toEDA tool APIs , SKILL, or custom GUI development. Experience withcompute farm management , job schedulers, or cloud-based flows. Understanding ofAI/ML-based flow optimizationis a plus. Soft Skills Strong debugging and analytical thinking. Good communication and collaboration abilities. Ability to support PD teams proactively and independently.Regards, Sharmila Begum Mail ID: sharmila.b@
