Physical Design Engineer

Physical Design Engineer
Job Summary
The Physical Design Engineer will be responsible for the full-chip and/or block-level physical implementation of complex digital, mixed-signal, or RF integrated circuits from

RTL to GDSII

(the final manufacturing data). This role requires expertise in design methodologies to achieve optimal performance, power, and area (PPA) targets while ensuring manufacturability.
Key Responsibilities
Physical Implementation Flow:

Own and execute all phases of the physical design flow, including:
Synthesis

(RTL to Netlist).
Floorplanning

and Partitioning (defining block boundaries, pin placement, and power grid planning).
Power Rail/Grid Design

and analysis (EM/IR Drop).
Place and Route

(Placement of standard cells and macro blocks, followed by signal routing).
Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS) : Design and optimize the clock network for minimal skew and latency.
Timing Closure:<...
