Physical Design Engineer (2-4 Years Experience)
 
We are looking for a high-caliber Physical Design Engineer to join our fast-paced startup team. This role is designed for "top 1%" talent—engineers from tier-1 universities (IIT/NIT/BITS or equivalent) who possess a relentless "go-getter" attitude and the critical thinking skills required to solve complex, next-generation silicon challenges.
If you are eager to move beyond standard digital flows into the future of AI-driven automation, this is your playground.
Key Responsibilities
  • End-to-End Ownership: Drive RTL-to-GDSII implementation, including floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and physical verification (LVS/DRC/ERC).
  • Performance Optimization: Execute high-performance design closure focusing on PPA (Power, Performance, Area) targets in advanced process nodes ( 3nm or below)
  • Static Timing Analysis (STA): Perform comprehensive timing closure, including signal integrity, crosstalk analysis, and CPPR (Common Path Pessimism Removal) optimization.
  • Power Integrity: Conduct IR-drop analysis (Static/Dynamic) and EM (Electromigration) checks to ensure robust power delivery.
  • Innovation: Develop and integrate AI/ML-based automation scripts to optimize the physical design flow and reduce turnaround time.
Qualifications & Requirements
  • Education: B.Tech/M.Tech in Electrical/Electronics Engineering from a Top Tier University.
  • Experience: 2–4 years of hands-on experience in Physical Design within the semiconductor industry.
  • Tool Expertise: Expert-level proficiency in industry-standard tools (Preferred Innovus).
  • Technical Depth: Strong understanding of multi-corner multi-mode (MCMM) closure, low-power design techniques (UPF/CPF), and physical verification.
  • Mindset: A proven "go-getter" who is diligent, detail-oriented, and capable of taking complete ownership of blocks under tight deadlines.
  • The "Plus": Proficiency in Python/Tcl and experience using AI/ML models for EDA tool automation or predictive PPA analysis.
  • Location: Bangalore
