• Execute place-and-route, clock tree synthesis, and timing closure using industry-standard tools (Cadence Innovus).
• Perform detailed static timing analysis (STA) and drive sign-off across PVT corners and operating modes.
• Identify and resolve physical verification issues (DRC/LVS/ERC) in close partnership with process/CAD/foundry teams, ensuring robust manufacturability.
• Automate design flows (e.g., hierarchical PNR, IO ring automation, Flash PG) to improve efficiency and quality; contribute to continuous flow enhancements.
• Collaborate with RTL, DFT, verification, package, and library teams to meet performance, power, and area (PPA) targets and project milestones.
• Mentor and coach junior engineers, sharing best practices in physical design and advancing team capability.
• Document methodologies and contribute to best practices, supporting a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
• Demonstrate ADI values by being agile in adapting to changing business needs, leading by example, and striving for best-in-class results.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related discipline.
• 8+ years of hands-on experience of ASIC/SoC physical design at advance nodes such as 40,28,22,16 etc.
• Strong proficiency in floorplanning, PNR, STA, and physical verification using industry EDA tools.
• Experience developing or deploying automated flows (Tcl, Perl, Python) to improve design productivity.
• Deep understanding of fabrication process limitations, ESD/IR/EM analysis, and robust sign-off methodologies.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate clearly, collaborate cross-functionally, and work effectively in a fast-paced, innovative environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with hierarchical design and large-scale SoC integration.
• Background in low power and multi-voltage design methodologies (UPF/CPF).
