Senior/ IC Design Engineer (Physical Design)

Summary

Designs and implements ASIC physical design flows (RTL-to-GDS) using AI-assisted EDA tools, focusing on synthesis, timing closure, and tape-out verification.


Job Description

  • Perform RTL-to-GDS physical implementation for ASIC IP/subsystem/SoC designs using industry-leading EDA tools and AI-assisted methodologies
  • Develop and execute synthesis, Design-for-Test (DFT), and timing closure strategies, including DRC/LVS, static timing analysis (STA), scan/DFT validation, and GDS tape-out verification, leveraging AI-assisted methodologies to achieve successful tape-out.
  • Integrate multiple IP blocks and subsystems into a top-level chip layout.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to achieve power, performance, area (PPA), and timing goals.
  • Design, implement, and maintain synthesis, DFT, and STA scripts using industry best practices to improve automation, flow robustness, and design quality.
  • Leverage AI/LLM tools to automate workflows, accelerate analysis, optimize place-and-route (PnR) and timing prediction, and generate design constraints to improve productivity and design quality.

Requirements

  • Bachelor/Master Degree in Electronics/Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field, with at least 1 year of relevant experience.
  • Experience in RTL-to-GDS physical design, including synthesis, floor planning, placement, Layout, clock tree synthesis (CTS),routing, timing closure, physical verification, and design optimization.
  • Good understanding of timing constraints development and Static Timing Analysis (STA).
  • Demonstrated use of LLMs and AI coding assistants to automate workflows, debug scripts, and generate documentation.
  • Proficiency in scripting (Tcl, Python, Perl, Shell, and Makefile), as well as Verilog, SystemVerilog, C, and C++.
  • Experience with AI-assisted backend EDA tools (e.g.,Synopsys, Cadence) is preferred.
  • Self-motivated team player with strong verbal and written communication skills.
