Physical Design Engineer

- Perform all aspects of the physical design flow including synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, floor planning, static timing analysis, power/clock distribution, reliability, and power and noise analysis.

- Perform physical design implementation of custom IP and SoC designs from RTL to GDS to create a design database that is ready for manufacturing.

- Develop/improve physical design methodologies and automation scripts for various implementation steps

- Closely collaborate with the ASIC design team to drive architectural feasibility studies, develop timing, power and area design targets, and explore RTL/design tradeoffs

- Resolve design/timing/congestion and flow issues, identify potential solutions and drive execution

- Run, debug, and fix signoff closure issues in static timing analysis (STA), noise, logic equivalency, physical verification, electromigration and voltage drop
