NextSilicon is looking for a talented and experienced engineer to play a crucial role in the physical design implementation of the company’s next SOC. As a Senior Physical Design Engineer you will be responsible for the physical implementation of digital designs in semiconductor technologies, from RTL to GDSII. This position involves optimizing the layout, power, and performance of ICs, ensuring they are ready for manufacturing and meet stringent design requirements. The role requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams, including front-end designers, verification engineers, and product teams, to create high-quality, manufacturable designs.


Requirements
  • 8 to 10 years of experience in physical design for semiconductor devices, with proven expertise in IC PD/PV flow
  • Hands-on experience with EDA tools like Synopsys Fusion Compiler , ICV , and Mentor Calibre.
  • Strong knowledge of floorplanning, placement, routing, and Physical Verification methodologies.
  • Proficient in power analysis and power management techniques.
  • Familiar with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl for automation.
  • Good understanding of process technologies and design rules.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and meet deadlines.
  • Strong communication skills for effective collaboration with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities
  • Perform synthesis, floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), and routing of IC designs at block and Sub-system level
  • Convert high-level RTL (Register Transfer Level) code into a manufacturable silicon layout while meeting PPA goals, both at Block and Sub-system level
  • Analyze and resolve issues related to power distribution, signal integrity, and noise
  • Ensure designs meet all design rules and verify the physical layout against the logical schematic. Be able to resolve all DRC and LVS issue in their designs
  • Work with subsystems and full chip teams to drive physical verification. 
  • Provide Automation solution for faster convergence 
  • Utilize EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools such as Synopsys, and Mentor Graphics for design implementation.
  • Work closely with RTL design, verification, and DFT (Design for Test) teams to address design challenges and ensure integration of all design components.
  • Ability to implement solutions and troubleshoot complex problems with limited or no supervision
