- Execute and optimize physical design flows across key stages of the PnR lifecycle.

- Work extensively with Fusion Compiler (FC) and/or Innovus for design implementation.

- Perform and support physical design signoff using methodologies and tools such as ICV, RedHawk, PrimeTime, and StarRC, or similar.

- Analyze implementation results and identify opportunities for Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) improvement.

- Contribute to continuous improvement of physical design flows, methodologies, and flow usage.

- Debug complex implementation and flow issues using strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

- Collaborate with engineering teams across different functions, geographies, and cultures.

- Explore productivity improvements through modern engineering and AI-assisted tools such as Cursor.

## Requirements

- BS/B.Tech in Electrical Engineering (EE), Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), or equivalent with 5+ years of relevant experience, OR MS/M.Tech in EE, ECE, or equivalent with 3+ years of relevant experience.

- Strong hands-on experience in PnR design implementation and/or PnR flow methodologies.
