Senior Physical Design Engineer

Overview

As a Physical Design Engineer, you will transform complex RTL into high-quality silicon as part of a collaborative digital backend team. You’ll work across the full flow—from floorplanning to final sign-off—balancing performance, power, and area at advanced nodes. You will influence flows and automation, driving efficiency and technical innovation for next-generation products. This role offers the chance to partner with RTL, verification, packaging, and product engineering to tackle challenging design problems and meet aggressive schedules.

Responsibilities

• Drive the physical design flow from floorplanning to sign-off
• Optimize designs for power, performance, and area within tight schedules
• Contribute to new flows and automation to improve team efficiency
• Collaborate with RTL, verification, packaging, and product engineering groups
• Own technical challenges and propose robust solutions

Key requirements

• Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline
• Solid background in digital backend/physical design, ideally including work at 7nm or below
• Practical knowledge of timing closure, clock tree design, physical verification, and sign-off processes
• Strong scripting/programming ability (Python, Tcl)

• collaborative mindset
• ownership of technical challenges
• problem-solving and initiative
• digital backend/physical design
• 7nm or below process experience
• timing closure
