Principal PD Engineer (Physical Design)

Job Description

Experienced PD Engineer working on mutliple technology nodes. Design for 40/22nm analog, RF, and mixed/signal circuits will be an added advantage. Perform layout from scratch, modify existing layouts. Create block level floorplans and work within the constraints of higher-level floorplans. Participate in peer and engineering reviews. Provide accurate area and schedule estimates for assigned circuit blocks. Work closely with both design engineers and other layout engineers. Required Experience and Skills We are looking for an experienced person (~10-15 years) who has overall knowledge of PD and takes care of all the flows associated with it. Apart from PnR & Synthesis: Experience with work closer to the front end such as digital modeling, gate level simulations, CDC, LEC, and STA/synthesis. Floor planning: Strategically planning the placement of functional blocks on the chip. Placement and Routing: Optimizing the placement of components and connecting them with wires (routing). Timing Closure: Ensuring the chip meets timing requirements (ensuring signals arrive at the correct time). Power Integrity: Managing power distribution and ensuring the chip operates reliably. Verification: Checking the layout for errors and ensuring it meets design rules. ECOs: Implementing design changes (ECOs) to fix issues identified during verification. Flow Development: Participating in developing and improving physical design methodologies and CAD tools. Job Segment: Front End, Design Engineer, Drafting, Network, CAD, Technology, Engineering
