title: Physical Design Engineer (Senior/Staff) in District 7
description: Our Hardware Engineers at Synopsys are responsible for designing and developing cutting-edge semiconductor solutions. They work on intricate tasks such as chip architecture, circuit design, and verification to ensure the efficiency and reliability of semiconductor products. These engineers play a crucial role in advancing technology and enabling innovations in various industries. You have spent years in physical design where routing decisions determine whether a chip tapes out clean or burns weeks in ECO. You know Fusion Compiler or ICC2 from debugging congestion hotspots and timing violations at 2am, not from training slides. P&R is equal parts science and pattern recognition, and you have developed both. You do not wait for a perfect floorplan. You flag what will break and propose something workable before it becomes a schedule problem. When extraction results look wrong, you dig until you understand why. The best solutions often come from walking to the frontend team and asking the right question. Mentorship matters to you. You remember staring at a million DRC violations as a junior engineer, so you take time to show someone how to read a timing report or why their power grid will not close. You script your way out of repetitive work in TCL or PERL, and you know when automation helps versus when manual is faster. At Synopsys, you will work on real SOC designs using the tools the industry depends on. The problems are hard, the work is real, and what you build will matter. What You'll Be Doing Own physical implementation using Fusion Compiler or ICC2, from floorplanning through routing and signoff closure Debug complex P&R issues including timing, congestion, IR drop, and physical verification failures across hierarchical designs Guide customer design and CAD teams on tool usage, methodology, and design closure as a trusted technical advisor Develop physical design flows and automation scripts in TCL, PERL, or Python to improve efficiency Work with Synopsys BU and…
