Responsibilities
- Architect and lead the development of next-generation physical design methodologies and automation flows.
- Provide deep technical leadership in RTL-to-GDSII implementation, including synthesis, floorplanning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, and timing closure.
- Serve as a key technical advisor across multiple projects, influencing design decisions and resolving complex implementation challenges.
- Collaborate with global cross-functional teams, including RTL, verification, and CAD, to ensure cohesive and optimized design execution.
- Mentor and coach senior and junior engineers, fostering technical growth and promoting best practices across the organization.
- Evaluate and drive adoption of emerging EDA tools and technologies in partnership with internal CAD and external vendors.
- Represent the physical design team in strategic technical discussions with internal and external stakeholders, contributing to roadmap planning and methodology evolution.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 10+ years of progressive experience in back-end physical design and verification, including leadership roles.
- Deep understanding of RTL to GDSII flows, including synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, and timing closure.
- Strong expertise in static timing analysis (e.g., PrimeTime, Tempus) and power/signal integrity tools (e.g., Voltus, RedHawk).
- Proficient in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Tcl, and Makefile for automation and flow development.
- Demonstrated experience in developing and deploying physical design methodologies and flows.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to mentor junior engineers and influence cross-functional teams.
- Experience working with EDA vendors and evaluating new tools and technologies is a plus.
- Must be eligible to access export-controlled information as defined under applicable law.
