Senior Staff SOC Engineer (Physical Design)

You are a passionate and driven Physical Design Engineer with a strong foundation in RTL2GDSII flows and a proven ability to independently own and deliver complex designs.

Job Description

You will independently own and drive full RTL2GDSII physical design implementation for advanced process nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm), ensuring successful tape-outs.

Your responsibilities include:

• Executing synthesis, place & route, clock tree synthesis (CTS), timing optimization, and static timing analysis (STA) to meet stringent performance and power targets.

• Performing block-level and full-chip floor-planning, physical verification, EMIR analysis, and timing closure activities.

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams across geographies to resolve complex design challenges and ensure design quality and schedule adherence.

• Utilizing and optimizing Synopsys EDA tools, including Design Compiler, IC Compiler II, and PrimeTime, to deliver state-of-the-art silicon solutions.

• Developing and maintaining automation scripts in Python, PERL, TCL, or other relevant languages to streamline design flows and improve efficiency.

• Contributing to the continuous improvement of design methodologies and best practices, sharing insights and mentoring junior engineers as needed.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (BE/BTech/MTech or equivalent) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

• 5+ years of relevant experience in physical design, particularly in advanced technology nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm).

• Comprehensive hands-on experience with RTL2GDSII flows, including synthesis, place & route, CTS, timing optimization, STA, EMIR, and physical verification.

• Proficiency with Synopsys EDA tools such as Design Compiler, IC Compiler II, and PrimeTime.

• Strong scripting and automation skills using Python, PERL, TCL, or similar languages.

• Solid understanding of timing constraints, timing closure, and floor-planning techniques for both block-level and full-chip designs.

• Exposure to high-frequency design and low-power design methodologies.

Benefits

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs.

• Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans that work for you and your family.

• In addition to company holidays, we have ETO and FTO Programs.

• Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance, and more.

• Purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24-month look-back.

• Save for your future with our retirement plans that vary by region and country.

• Competitive salaries.
