IC Physical Design Engineer

Join our ambitious team of silicon and hyperscale data center systems experts as a Physical Design Engineer. Our mission is to revolutionize the performance and scalability of next-generation distributed computing infrastructure. You will have the opportunity to work on groundbreaking products and collaborate with talented hardware and software engineers to create disruptive infrastructure solutions that excite our customers. We are seeking talented engineers experienced in physically implementing large-scale networking and computing semiconductor products. You will be part of a dynamic startup environment and contribute to the full lifecycle of complex chip development, from CAD tool flow setup to physical verification and tapeout. This role is based in India, with options for hybrid/remote work. Candidates capable of in-office participation in Hyderabad or Bangalore are preferred. Responsibilities: - Develop and maintain the CAD tool flow for physical implementation in a cloud-first environment. - Collaborate with architects on chip-level floorplan and block partitioning, considering tradeoffs in functional partitioning and interface complexity. - Design major physical structures like clock architecture, power delivery network, and interconnect topologies. - Execute physical implementation at block, cluster, and top levels, including synthesis, floorplan, timing closure, and tapeout. - Liaise with foundry and library partners on 3rd party IP integration and process technology issues. Skills/Qualifications: - Proven track record in physical implementation of high-performance network switching/routing fabrics, NICs, CPUs, or GPUs in the latest silicon process nodes. - Proficiency in CAD tools like Cadence Genus, Synopsys ICC2, and analysis tools such as Redhawk. - Experience with scripting languages like Perl, Python, and SystemVerilog. - Minimum BSEE/CE + 10 years or MSEE/CE + 5 years experience with products shipped in high volume. Company Background: We are a well-funded startup based in Mountain View, CA, founded by industry veterans and backed by top-tier investors.
