Executive Director SOC Physical Design

We are seeking an Executive Director, SoC Physical Design to provide strategic, technical, and organizational leadership for physical design and implementation across complex SoCs, subsystems, and HPC controller IP.

You will build, grow, and lead a multi-site physical design organization and be accountable for physical feasibility, implementation readiness, and design closure across a broad configuration space.

Key responsibilities:

• Build, grow, manage, and lead a cohesive, high-performing physical design organization across multiple sites and customer engagements.
• Own physical design strategy, planning, execution, and sign-off for complex SoCs, subsystems, IP, and HPC controller products.
• Be accountable for physical feasibility and implementation readiness of soft IP releases, with practical P&R validation across representative configurations and technology targets.
• Lead end-to-end physical implementation, including floor planning, hierarchical design, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, timing closure, power optimization, physical verification, and tape-out readiness.
• Establish scalable physical design flows, methodology, quality standards, and sign-off criteria across the product configuration space.
• Drive timing closure, power optimization, congestion resolution, constraint quality, and implementation efficiency using Synopsys tool flows such as Fusion Compiler.

The ideal candidate will have:

• BS/MS in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline, with extensive experience in ASIC/SoC development and physical design.
• Deep expertise in physical design with a proven track record of hardening complex designs through tape-out readiness.
• Extensive hands-on knowledge of floor planning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, static timing analysis and timing closure, power optimization, hierarchical implementation, constraints, and physical sign-off.
• Strong experience with Synopsys physical implementation tool flows, including Fusion Compiler, or equivalent advanced-node implementation platforms.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• Competitive salaries
• Annual bonus
• Equity
• Health, wellness, and financial benefits
• Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
• Time away programs
• Family support
• ESPP
• Retirement plans
