About the Job

Requirements

  • A B.Tech, BE, ME, or MTech degree and 4–6 years of hands-on experience in physical design and physical verification.
  • Experience with ASIC design flow and hierarchical physical design strategies and methodologies, and understanding of deep sub-micron technology issues.
  • Solid knowledge of physical design, static timing analysis, low-power design, EM/IR and crosstalk analysis, formal verification, physical verification, DFM, and DFT.
  • A successful track record of taping out complex IPs and SoCs at 16/10/7/5/3 nm with different foundries.
  • Automation- and programming-mindedness, with coding experience in Makefile, Tcl/Tk, Perl, or Python assisted with AI.

Responsibilities

  • Own design responsibilities including floor planning, power grid design, place and route, clock tree synthesis, timing/SI closure, power and EM-IR signoff, physical verification (DRC/LVS/Antenna), and DFM closure.
  • Implement physical design for Cadence IPs using Cadence EDA tools, including Genus, Innovus, Tempus, Voltus, and other backend tools.
  • Perform physical design for PPA optimization of performance- and power-oriented interface IPs such as DDR, LPDDR, PCIE, and UCIE, and test chips for advanced process nodes such as 7nm, 5nm, 3nm, and 2nm.
  • Work on low-power, high-speed, and area-optimized designs.
  • Work closely with RTL design and analog teams to ensure successful, on-time tapeouts.

Desired Qualifications

  • Power-user experience with Cadence implementation tools such as Genus, Innovus, Quantus, Tempus, PVS, and Voltus.
