SOC Physical Design Engineer
Job Summary
Job Description
This full-time SOC physical implementation role involves unit-level to chip-level physical design functions including P&R, timing, floorplan, clocking, electrical analysis, and power. Responsibilities include owning block-level design from RTL-to-GDSII, driving synthesis, floor-planning, place & route, timing closure, and signoff. The role requires extensive work with Micro-architects for feasibility studies and PPA tradeoffs, developing physical design methodologies, and collaborating with cross-functional teams for implementation and validation. This includes running signoff flows like Timing, Power, EM/IR, and PDV.
Must have:
- Own block level design from RTL-to-GDSII
- Work with Micro-architects for PPA tradeoffs
- Develop physical design methodologies
- Signoff flows like Timing, Power, EM/IR, PDV
- Knowledge of synthesis, place & route, analysis tools
- Logic & physical design principles for low-power designs
- Scripting in Unix, Perl, Python, or TCL
- Understanding of device physics and deep sub-micron technologies
- Knowledge of Verilog and SystemVerilog
- Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
