Our team collaborates across design, verification, and manufacturing disciplines to deliver high-quality solutions using leading-edge technologies. We value technical excellence, continuous learning, and a culture of teamwork and innovation.
As a Physical Design Engineer, you will play a key role in driving semicustom physical implementation from netlist handoff through tapeout. You will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to optimize design quality, achieve physical signoff, and support successful product delivery in advanced technology nodes.
Responsibilities:

• Execute the semi-custom physical design flow from netlist handoff through physical verification and tapeout
• Develop and maintain floorplans, placement, routing, power distribution networks (PDN), and physical design constraints
• Perform DRC, LVS, parasitic extraction, and physical signoff activities
• Analyze and resolve timing, signal integrity, electromigration, IR drop, reliability, and manufacturability issues
• Partner with cross-functional teams to drive design closure, debug issues, and support tapeout readiness

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• Experience in VLSI physical design, semiconductor layout, or physical implementation
• Knowledge of semicustom physical design flows, physical verification tools, and advanced technology node methodologies
• Understanding of timing closure, PDN build, signal integrity, durability, and production feasibility concepts
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting physical design closure and tapeout activities for complex semiconductor products
• Knowledge of physical design automation methodologies and process improvement practices
• Experience documenting technical decisions and participating in design reviews
• Familiarity with AI-assisted engineering tools to improve design productivity and problem-solving efficiency
• Experience working with Agentic AI tools to assist with design and verification
