ASIC Physical Design Engineer
Location: Armenia
Remote Type: Onsite Only
Time Type: Full time
Job Description
Meet the Team
Our team specializes in macro-level RTL-to-GDSII physical implementation and signoff, collaborating closely with Front-End teams to ensure optimal results. We are dedicated to delivering complex SoC and block-level projects through technical excellence and teamwork. The team is composed of highly experienced professionals who value collaboration and high standards in physical design.
Your Impact
Lead macro-level RTL-to-GDSII physical implementation and signoff. Collaborate with Front-End teams to translate architecture into optimal physical design. Perform synthesis, floorplanning, placement, Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS), and routing. Optimize power, performance, and area (PPA) while maintaining design correctness through formal verification. Execute static timing analysis (STA), physical verification, formal checks, and signoff closure to ensure reliable, high-quality silicon. Analyze and resolve Electromigration (EM) and IR-drop issues to meet reliability and performance signoff targets.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
5+ years of hands-on experience in ASIC design and physical implementation.
Proven track record in ASIC physical design and verification preferably in complex SoC or block-level projects.
Deep knowledge of block-level synthesis, place-and-route (PnR), and timing closure.
Experience with industry-standard PnR and signoff tools (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence).
Preferred Qualifications
Broad understanding of physical design methodologies, integration, and implementation flows.
Experience in physical verification (LVS, DRC) and signoff processes.
Familiarity with physical design EDA toolchains and end-to-end workflows.
Advanced expertise in STA, timing closure, and constraint management.
Proficiency in scripting (Tcl, Python, or Perl) for automation and productivity improvements.
