  • Collaborate with test engineering teams to ensure that DFT methodologies align with overall test strategies and manufacturing requirements.
  • Develop and manage project schedules, resource allocation, and risk mitigation strategies.
  • Track project progress, identify potential issues, and implement corrective actions to ensure timely project delivery.
  • Communicate project status, challenges, and successes to senior management and stakeholders.
  • Work with vendors to ensure their requirements and qualities are met, and track their delivery schedules.
  • Drive the evaluation, selection, and deployment of EDA tools and methodologies for physical design.
  • Continuously improve physical design workflows and processes to enhance productivity and design quality.
  • Ensure all designs undergo rigorous quality checks, including foundry rule sets.
  • Lead design reviews and sign-off processes to ensure final designs are manufacturable and meet all specifications.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including front-end design, verification, and product engineering to ensure seamless integration and successful product development.
  • Act as a liaison between the physical design team and other departments, ensuring clear communication and alignment on project goals.
Qualifications
  • 10+ years of experience in physical design with at least 3 years in a leadership or management position.
  • Proven track record of leading physical design teams through successful tape-outs.
  • Experience with advanced technology nodes (e.g., 3nm or below) is highly required.
  • Experience with low-power design techniques and methodologies.
  • Deep knowledge of physical design tools (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens) and methodologies.
  • Strong understanding of the entire physical design process.
  • Strong knowledge of DFT methodologies including scan insertion, BIST, boundary scan, and ATPG (Automatic test pattern generation).
  • Familiar with post-silicon validation and tape-out process.
  • Experience managing multi-site projects and working with global teams.
Benefits

The total compensation package for this position includes medical benefits, 401(k) eligibility, vacation, sick time, and parental leave. Additional details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment.
