Senior Physical Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Close timing on high-performance memory IP designs including DDR, LPDDR, HBM, and SoC blocks
• Perform chip-level static timing analysis using PrimeTime to identify and fix critical paths
• Implement engineering change orders (ECOs) to resolve functional bugs and timing issues
• Write and maintain automation scripts in Python, Perl, Tcl, and shell to streamline STA flows and reporting
• Collaborate with RTL designers, physical design engineers, and verification teams to meet timing, power, and area requirements
• Handle asynchronous timing closure, clock domain crossings, and multi-mode multi-corner (MMMC) analysis
• Use PrimeTime ECO and DMSA to optimize timing paths and drive signoff quality

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in static timing analysis (STA) with a focus on chip-level timing closure
• Deep expertise in PrimeTime, including PrimeTime ECO and DMSA
• Proven experience closing timing on high-performance designs such as DDR, LPDDR, or HBM
• Strong scripting skills in Tcl and Python
• Working knowledge of Perl and shell scripting for automation
• Solid understanding of timing constraints, asynchronous timing analysis, and multi-corner multi-mode closure techniques

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in an RTL to GDS implementation flow
• Familiarity with physical design or floorplanning processes

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
• Paid time away including ETO and FTO programs
• Family support including maternity, paternity, and adoption assistance
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) with a 15% discount
• Competitive salaries and regional retirement plans
