Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Staff SOC Engineer (Physical Design) to join our team in Bengaluru. As a Senior Staff SOC Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing cutting-edge semiconductor solutions. You will work on intricate tasks such as chip architecture, circuit design, and verification to ensure the efficiency and reliability of semiconductor products.

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.

The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in RTL2GDSII flows and a proven ability to independently own and deliver complex designs. With at least 5 years of hands-on experience in advanced technology nodes such as 7nm, 5nm, or even 3nm, you will thrive in fast-paced, innovative environments and be eager to tackle new technical challenges.

Your expertise will span the entire physical design spectrum,from synthesis, place & route, and clock tree synthesis (CTS) to timing optimization, static timing analysis (STA), timing closure, EMIR, and physical verification. You will have experience in both block-level and full-chip floor-planning, and you’ll be adept at navigating timing constraints and closing timing on aggressive schedules.

You will utilize and optimize Synopsys EDA tools, including Design Compiler, IC Compiler II, and PrimeTime, to deliver state-of-the-art silicon solutions. You will develop and maintain automation scripts in Python, PERL, TCL, or other relevant languages to streamline design flows and improve efficiency.

As a Senior Staff SOC Engineer, you will contribute to the continuous improvement of design methodologies and best practices, sharing insights and mentoring junior engineers as needed. You will accelerate the delivery of high-performance, low-power silicon solutions that power next-generation technology platforms worldwide.

The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, and 8+ years of relevant experience in physical design, particularly in advanced technology nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm).

If you are excited about contributing to leading-edge silicon design and want to make a tangible impact, Synopsys is the place for you.
