Job Title: Lead Physical Design Engineer
Experience: 7+ Years
Location: Bangalore/Hyderabad
Employment Type: Full-time
Industry: Semiconductors / ASIC / VLSI / So C Design
Job Summary:
We are seeking a highly experienced and technically strong Lead Physical Design Engineer to drive RTL-to-GDSII implementation for complex So C or block-level designs. The ideal candidate will lead a team of engineers, oversee physical design execution, and ensure successful signoff and tapeout across advanced process nodes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own and drive block/full-chip physical implementation from RTL to GDSII.
- Lead floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and optimization.
- Guide timing closure, power integrity (IR/EM), DRC/LVS, antenna, and reliability checks.
- Define and execute physical design strategies to meet aggressive PPA targets.
- Interface with cross-functional teams including RTL, STA, DFT, power, and package teams.
- Plan and manage physical design activities for successful project delivery.
- Implement low-power design techniques (multi-VDD, power gating) using UPF/CPF.
- Drive physical design reviews, methodology development, and flow improvements.
- Mentor and guide junior PD engineers; provide technical leadership and training.
Required Skills and Experience:
- B. E/B. Tech or M. E/M. Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or VLSI.
- 7+ years of strong experience in physical design implementation.
- Hands-on experience with industry tools:
- P&R: Synopsys ICC2, Cadence Innovus, Siemens Nitro
- Timing: Synopsys Prime Time
- Verification: Calibre DRC/LVS, Red Hawk, Tempus, Voltus
- Strong command over timing analysis, congestion management, ECOs, and layout optimization.
- Deep understanding of Fin FET/advanced node design challenges (7nm/5nm/3nm).
- Scripting skills (Tcl, Perl, Python) for design automation and tool integration.
- Experience in tapeout and signoff processes with foundries like TSMC/Samsung/GF.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with hierarchical design and chip-level integration.
- Exposure to 2.5 D/3 D ICs, chiplets, HBM, or advanced packaging technologies.
- Knowledge of DFT insertion and formal verification tools.
- Familiarity with EDA tool flows customization and methodology development.
