Physical Design

ACG_3440_JOB Our client is a technology company that is looking for a qualified candidate to join their firm. Take ownership of the full physical design cycle from synthesis to GDSII tape-out. Perform key physical design tasks including synthesis, floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and timing analysis. Execute sign-off checks such as Static Timing Analysis (STA), EM/IR analysis (IR drop, Dynamic Voltage Drop, P-EM, S-EM), physical verification (LVS, DRC, ANT, DFM), and low-power verification; support tape-out activities. Ensure designs meet performance, power, and area (PPA) targets. Utilize EDA tools for design implementation, analysis, and verification. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including RTL design, constraints, DFT, DV, and IP teams to ensure alignment with design specifications. Perform physical verification tasks such as Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) and Design Rule Checking (DRC). Conduct parasitic extraction and analysis to optimize IC performance. Identify and resolve design and flow issues; propose solutions and drive them to closure. Optimize designs for power, area, and performance (PPA). Stay updated with advanced technology nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm and beyond), industry standards, and EDA methodologies. Contribute to logic synthesis, power planning, clock distribution, signal integrity, and place-and-route optimization. Work collaboratively with team members to resolve technical challenges and improve design flows. Requirements Minimum 5 years of experience in Physical Design. Strong communication skills with the ability to work directly with customers, clarify requirements, and ensure high-quality deliverables. Ability to identify issues, propose solutions, escalate when necessary, and follow through until resolution. Proactive mindset in knowledge sharing and continuous improvement within the team. Strong debugging and analysis skills in areas such as timing, congestion, and sign-off checks. Ability to handle multiple tasks effectively in a fast-paced environment. Experience in customer reporting and stakeholder communication. Leadership experience, including mentoring and training junior engineers, is a plus. Strong problem-solving mindset with attention to detail; actively seek clarification rather than making assumptions. Contact: Giau Nguyen Due to the immense number of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
