Role Description
Job Summary
We are seeking a skilled Physical Design Engineer with approximately 4 years of hands-on experience in the full-chip or block-level physical implementation of ASIC/So C designs. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in physical design flows, timing closure, and signoff activities for advanced technology nodes.
Key Responsibilities
Perform block-level and/or full-chip physical design implementation including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and optimization
Own timing closure across all implementation stages (pre-CTS, post-CTS, post-route)
Handle congestion, IR drop, and power optimization
Run and debug DRC, LVS, and physical verification issues
Perform ECO implementation to address timing, power, and functional fixes
Work closely with RTL, STA, DFT, and Signoff teams to resolve design issues
Analyze and fix timing violations (setup, hold, DRV) across multiple modes and corners
Support signoff checks such a...
