Job Description

Physical Design Engineer

Location: Penang, Malaysia

Employment type: Permanent

We are seeking a Physical Design Engineer with at least two years of relevant SoC/ASIC experience to support advanced chip design projects, from synthesis through to GDS delivery.

Key responsibilities

  • Execute block- and subsystem-level physical implementation for advanced SoC/ASIC designs.
  • Perform synthesis, floorplanning, clock tree synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), signal integrity analysis, EM/IR analysis, ECO implementation and formal equivalence verification.
  • Conduct physical verification, including DRC, density, antenna and LVS checks.
  • Carry out pathfinding, debugging and regression runs to deliver high-quality designs.
  • Collaborate with product/IP architects, logic design engineers, DFX owners and design automation engineers to meet project milestones.

The role may offer opportunities for short- to medium-term overseas travel or relocation, depending on project requirements.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree with a minimum of two years of relevant industry experience in SoC/ASIC physical design.
  • Familiarity with block- or subsystem-level implementation flows, from synthesis to GDS.
  • Hands-on experience with industry-standard EDA tools from Cadence and/or Synopsys.
  • Experience across the physical design and verification activities listed above.
  • Practical knowledge of clock-gating and power-gating methodologies.
  • Proficiency in scripting or programming using languages such as Shell, Tcl, Perl, Python or C++, and familiarity with Linux.
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team.

Added advantages

  • Advanced proficiency with Cadence or Synopsys tools.
  • Specialisation in STA or experience with high-speed PHY design.
  • Ability to communicate professionally in Mandarin or Japanese.
