Responsibilities
Define and execute IP block and partition physical design strategy across projects, aligning schedules, resources, and milestones to company tapeout goals
Lead mixed signal placement and routing, enforcing analog keepouts, shielding, and DRC aware methodologies while integrating digital logic cleanly
Own system and block integration for floorplanning, power, placement, CTS, and constraints, ensuring consistent interfaces across hierarchy and reuse
Drive end to end IP physical implementation from RTL handoff through GDSII, managing iterations, ECOs, and closure plans across corners
Develop and maintain block specific flow customizations for synthesis, PNR, EM IR, STA, and physical verification to improve QoR and predictability
Deliver robust constraints methodology, pushing timing intent from system to block and back, maintaining mode and corner correctness for signoff
Run and close subsystem signoff including STA, EM IR, SI, DRC, LVS, antenna, and metal fill, meeting reliability and manufacturability requirements
Optimize clock architecture and CTS for skew, latency, and power, including skew group definitions and balancing across library corners
Collaborate with front end, DFT, packaging, and manufacturing to resolve integration risks, test mode impacts, and physical interface requirements
Provide clear status, risk, and mitigation reporting to leadership, using metrics driven dashboards for PPA, convergence, and schedule predictability
Qualification
Required
Expertise in physical design, timing closure, and signoff for small to large ASIC IP blocks, including mixed signal integration and subsystem closure ownership
Strong hands-on experience with floorplanning, power planning, placement, CTS, routing, EM IR, STA, and PV signoff across MMMC scenarios
Proven ability to improve flows through automation and scripting, with disciplined debug skills and data driven QoR and runtime optimization mindset
Excellent cross functional leadership and communication skills to drive alignment, technical reviews, and closure decisions under aggressive timelines
