Key Skills for This Role
Responsibilities
- Own full chip and block level physical implementation including floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and physical verification for high speed designs in advanced TSMC nodes
- Collaborate with RTL and STA teams to ensure clean handoffs and convergent timing, area, and power closure across complex design blocks and full chip
- Apply physical design techniques for multi voltage and multi frequency domains, hierarchical implementation, physical aware synthesis, congestion mitigation, skew optimization, and RC extraction aware placement and routing
- Perform tapeout signoff activities including PV, EM/IR, ESD, and jobview using industry standard verification tools
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field
- 8+ years of hands on physical design experience, preferably with advanced technology nodes at 5nm or below
- Strong experience with floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, IR drop mitigation, timing closure, and signoff debugging
- Hands on experience with Synopsys ICC2, RedHawk SC, Cadence Innovus, Voltus, Siemens Calibre, etc.
- Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Python, or Perl
