Experience:
14–20 Years
Location:
Bangalore/2 days to work
Department:
RTL-to-GDSII / Physical Implementation
Role Overview
We are seeking a high-caliber Principal
Physical Design Engineer
with a specialized mastery of
Floorplanning and Power Delivery Network (PDN)
design. You won’t just be pushing buttons; you will be the architectural bridge between RTL/Systems and the final GDSII. This role requires a visionary who understands how a single floorplan decision ripples through the entire PPA (Power, Performance, Area) spectrum.
As a technical lead, you will own the chip-top floorplan for complex, large-scale SoCs or Sub-chips, driving strategies that balance aggressive performance targets with robust power integrity.
Key Responsibilities
- Architectural Floorplanning:
Lead chip-level floorplanning, including macro placement, pin assignment, and partition definition for multi-million gate designs.
- Strategic PDN Design:
Architect and implement complex Power Delivery Networks. You will define the metal stack usage and grid density to support high-performance cores while minimizing routing congestion.
Technical Requirements
- Core Experience:
14+ years in Physical Design with a proven track record of multiple successful tape-outs at advanced nodes (
7nm, 5nm, or 3nm
).
- PDN Expertise:
Ability to model complex power-up sequences and multi-voltage domains.
Behavioral Attributes
- Critical Thinker:
You don't just follow a recipe. You question constraints and look for "hidden" PPA gains.
- Design Thinking:
Ability to empathize with the challenges of upstream (RTL) and downstream (Sign-off) teams to create a holistic solution.
- Influence:
You can articulate technical trade-offs to stakeholders,
Education
- B.Tech/M.Tech in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or equivalent.
