Job Description

Physical Design Engineer (5–15 years experience)Job Title: Physical Design Engineer (ASIC / SoC / Mixed-Signal)Experience: 5 – 15 yearsLocation: Bangalore

About The Role

We are seeking a skilled Physical Design Engineer to join our back-end / layout / implementationteam. The candidate will be responsible for translating RTL/netlist designs into physical layoutsready for manufacturing, optimizing for performance, power, area (PPA), timing closure, signalintegrity, and manufacturability.Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the full physical design flow from netlist to GDSII/layout — including floor-
planning, placement, routing, clock-tree synthesis (CTS), routing and layout
optimizations.
  • Perform static timing analysis (STA), timing closure, power, signal integrity, IR/EM
analysis, and ensure design meets power, area, performance, and manufacturability
constraints.
  • Work with design, verification, and manufacturing teams to ensure smooth hand-off to
fabrication; resolve physical design issues, constraints, DRC/LVS and sign-off checks.
  • Develop and maintain design flows, automation scripts, layout macros, and physical
design methodologies — including scripting (TCL, Python, Perl, Shell) and flow
automation.
  • Optimize design for PPA (power, performance, area), power management (e.g. low-
power design techniques), and manufacturability.
  • Provide technical leadership/guidance to layout team members; mentor juniors;
participate in design & timing closure reviews.

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical / Electronics / Computer Engineering or
related field.
  • 5 to 15 years’ hands-on experience in physical design/layout for ASIC/SoC (digital or
mixed-signal) — preferably with tape-out experience.
  • Proficiency with industry standard physical design and EDA tools (e.g. Synopsys ICC2 /
Innovus / Cadence / Mentor tools for P&R, STA, sign-off).
  • Strong scripting skills (TCL, Perl, Python, Shell) for flow automation.
  • Good understanding of VLSI design flow, timing analysis, power/area optimization,
clock-tree synthesis (CTS), routing, signal & power integrity, DRC/LVS rules, and
manufacturability constraints.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills; ability to collaborate
across design, verification and manufacturing teams.
