• Develop, optimize, and refine synthesis strategies to meet design, timing, area, and power objectives.
• Drive place-and-route (P&R) activities, including floorplanning, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and physical design optimization.
• Perform static timing analysis (STA) and timing closure to ensure compliance with performance specifications.
• Conduct power integrity analysis and power-related validation to enhance overall design robustness and reliability.
• Carry out physical verification activities, including DRC, LVS, and sign-off quality checks.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to address implementation challenges and support successful silicon delivery.
• Participate in technical reviews and process improvement initiatives to enhance design quality, efficiency, and execution.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 3–10 years of practical experience in digital LSI or ASIC physical design.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of the complete RTL-to-GDSII implementation flow.
• Proficiency with leading EDA tools from Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens EDA, or equivalent platforms.
• Solid understanding of physical implementation, timing closure, optimization techniques, and design verification methodologies.
• Strong analytical thinking, debugging, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Experience with advanced process technologies such as 7nm, 5nm, 3nm, or more advanced nodes.
• Exposure to high-performance and/or low-power SoC and ASIC development projects.
• Experience owning design blocks, leading project deliverables, mentoring junior engineers, or serving as a technical lead is an added advantage.
