Physical Design Engineer

Job Responsibilities

Execute synthesis, PNR, and STA for assigned partitions of ASIC chip adhering to strict schedules and design goals. Work closely with architects, RTL designers, and DFT engineers to resolve implementation and signoff issues across your blocks. Help close EM/IR, drive LEC and physical verification signoff for your partitions in coordination with methodology owners. Partner with the design team to proactively identify and address potential physical design challenges, enabling efficient iteration and convergence. Contribute to the refinement of other implementation and physical design methodologies, encompassing synthesis, place and route (PnR), electromigration and IR (EMIR), power delivery network (PDN), and logical equivalence checking (LEC). Troubleshoot flow issues and collaborate with EDA vendors to resolve them as needed.
