Physical Design Engineer
Headhunter: Intellectual Capital Resources
Produktion Halbleiter
8040 Zürich, Zurich - Schweiz
Senior Fachkraft / Projektleiter
Experteer Overview
In this role you drive end-to-end ASIC implementation, from synthesis to signoff, collaborating with front-end, verification and system teams to tackle timing and physical challenges on advanced nodes. You influence design methodologies, improve flows, and support tapeouts and post-implementation analysis. The role blends hands-on RTL-to-GDSII work with automation, low-power strategies, and SoC integration to deliver high-performance silicon.
Verantwortungsbereiche
- Drive ASIC implementation from synthesis through place & route, timing closure and final signoff
- Refine timing, power and physical constraints to meet performance targets
- Perform static timing analysis and resolve complex implementation challenges
- Collaborate with RTL and verification teams to optimize designs for physical implementation
- Support low-power implementation strategies and modern SoC integration activities
- Enhance automation and methodology through scripting and flow development
- Contribute to successful tapeouts and post-implementation analysis
Zentrale Anforderungen
- Proven experience in ASIC Physical Design and back-end implementation
- Strong understanding of synthesis, place & route, clock tree synthesis, STA and timing closure
- Experience owning or contributing to RTL-to-GDSII flow
- Knowledge of modern SoC architectures and integration flows
- Familiarity with Verilog/SystemVerilog and understanding interaction between RTL and physical implementation
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence or Siemens)
- Scripting experience using Python, Tcl or similar languages
- Ability to debug and solve complex implementation and timing issues
