Associate Consultant l Semiconductor, Embedded Systems, Renewable Energy
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Physical Design Engineer to join our clients team, working on cutting-edge, high-performance digital designs at the most advanced technology nodes.
This role involves hands-on physical implementation and optimization, as well as cross-functional collaboration to drive performance, power, and area excellence.
Key Responsibilities:
* Own the physical implementation of complex, high-speed designs from floorplanning through GDS, with a focus on aggressive PPA goals.
* Research and implement innovative physical design methodologies to push the boundaries of PPA, including custom scripting and flow development.
* Collaborate closely with architecture, RTL, timing, and power teams to ensure efficient, timing-closure-aware design implementation.
* Stay current with industry trends and apply best practices in physical design to improve quality, efficiency, and scalability of solutions.
* Perform in-depth analysis using data and statistical methods to track benchmarks, identify bottlenecks, and propose improvements.
* Drive alignment across teams on key PPA optimization opportunities, ensuring robust and forward-thinking design practices.
What We’re Looking For:
* 4+ years of hands-on experience in physical design implementation.
* Solid understanding of the complete RTL-to-GDS flow, including:
* Floorplanning
* Power planning
* Placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing
* Timing, congestion, and power optimization
* Experience with physical design tools and flows in advanced nodes (10nm and below).
* Strong grasp of static timing analysis (STA) and its relationship to physical effects like congestion, routing, and power consumption.
* Familiarity with power analysis, power integrity, and closure processes.
* Working knowledge of physical verification (DRC/LVS) and closure methodologies.
* Advanced scripting abilities in Perl and TCL to automate and enhance PD flows.
* Excellent communication skills and a strong team-oriented mindset.
