Physical Design Engineer

Job Description

Change the world. Love your job.

We enable next generation of Audio-Video in cars whether it is to enable self-driving in an ADAS system or rear-seat entertainment in an IVI system. You will be part of the team enabling high end experience in the future generation of cars.

In this position, you will be working on the physical design of high-speed mixed-signal SerDes circuits using state-of-the art process technology. You will be working on multi-million gate design with complex clock-trees and high-speed interfaces to Analog.

Your responsibilities will include synthesis, various steps of physical design such as floorplan, placement, clock-tree synthesis and debug, routing, timing closure, power analysis, IR-drop, EM-checks, physical verification such as DRC, LVS, Antenna etc.

As a physical design engineer, you will be responsible for tapeout in Digital-on-top flows or delivery of timing clean sub-chip for top-level integration in Analog-on-Top flows. You will be responsible to ensure the device meets the spec. requirement with regards to Power, Performance, and Area. You will develop solutions to complex problems through assessment of various techniques and approaches. You will plan and organize work to ensure timely completion of many independent tasks with general instructions on routine tasks and with detailed instructions on new assignments.
