About the Role:

We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Physical Design Engineer to join our client's team. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and enhancing silicon design and physical design methodologies, creating scalable solutions for blocks, subsystems, and full chip designs from RTL to GDS.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and enhance silicon design and physical design methodologies, creating scalable solutions for blocks, subsystems, and full chip designs from RTL to GDS.
  • Take ownership of entire subsystems or specific subsets and chip-level physical design tasks, including floor-planning, placement, clock insertion, routing, optimization, timing closure analysis, physical verification closure, and electrical analysis.
  • Plan and lead intermediate and final reviews, as well as track execution progress using key PPA metrics, ensuring milestones such as design freeze and tapeout are met.
  • Collaborate closely with design, DFT, and other physical design team members to achieve top-tier performance, power, and area results for the subsystem or block.

Requirements:

  • Minimum 8 years of industry experience in ASIC Physical Design.
  • Proven track record in floorplanning, place and route, clock tree insertion and analysis, timing analysis, physical verification, electrical sign-off, and related areas, ensuring tapeout-ready GDS for large physical blocks and/or top-level designs.
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate with design, verification, and DFT teams to structure and partition designs optimally for PPA and sign-off.
  • Experience working with third-party design services partners, taking subsystems and/or top-level designs from initial floor plan to sign-off and tapeout, is a plus.
