PD CAD (SI50FT RM 3822)

Position: PD CAD (SI50FT RM 3822)

Job Description
We are seeking a PD CAD Engineer with 5+ years of experience in physical design and CAD flow development, with strong hands-on expertise in Synopsys Fusion Compiler–based physical implementation flows. The role involves building, customizing, and supporting robust RTL-to GDSII methodologies, closely collaborating with design to enable predictable PPA closure on advanced technology nodes. This role requires solid execution capability, deep tool knowledge, and a strong understanding of PnR and signoff methodologies, not just tool operation.

Key Responsibilities

Develop, customize, and maintain end-to-end RTL-to-GDSII physical design CAD flows, with primary focus on Synopsys Fusion Compiler.

Drive automation and methodology improvements across floor-planning, placement, CTS, routing, and post-route optimization stages.

Effectively utilize Fusion Compiler unified flow for implementation, optimization, and convergence of PPA metrics.

Support physical designers in timing, power, and area closure, including debug of complex convergence issues.

Build and maintain TCL-based automation frameworks; use Perl/Python where appropriate for flow orchestration and reporting.

Integrate MCMM methodologies into PD flows and ensure correctness and scalability across projects.

Collaborate with signoff teams to align implementation and signoff requirements, minimizing late-stage surprises.

Perform tool feature evaluation, regression testing, and benchmarking for new Fusion Compiler releases.

Provide clear documentation, flow guidelines, and technical support to design teams. Required

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or a related field.

5+ years of industry experience in physical design or PD CAD methodology development.

Strong hands-on experience in place-and-route and CAD flow enablement for complex SoCs or blocks.
