Job Description

Physical Design Engineer (PnR or STA)

Job Description:

  • Drive full-chip and block-level physical implementation, including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and optimization.
  • Perform timing closure across multi-corner, multi-mode (MCMM) conditions, ensuring compliance with performance, power, and area (PPA) goals.
  • Conduct static timing analysis (STA) using PrimeTime or equivalent tools, including timing ECO implementation and signoff validation.
  • Perform physical verification (DRC/LVS), crosstalk analysis, and EM/IR checks to ensure design reliability and manufacturability.
  • Collaborate with front-end design, STA, and power teams to resolve timing, congestion, and design rule issues efficiently.
  • Develop and maintain methodology scripts (Tcl, Perl, or Python) to automate and streamline physical design and STA workflows.
  • Utilize advanced PnR tools such as Synopsys ICC2/ICC, Fusion Compiler, or Cadence Innovus for implementation and optimization.
  • Support tape-out activities, including design signoff and physical database management.

Job Requirements:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related field.
  • At least 3-8 years of experience in ASIC physical design (PnR and STA focus).
  • Strong hands-on experience with FinFET and advanced nodes (16nm, 14nm, 12nm, sub-10nm).
  • Proficiency in timing analysis, optimization, and closure using Synopsys PrimeTime or equivalent.
  • Experience in PNR implementation flows using Synopsys ICC2/Fusion Compiler, or Cadence Innovus.
  • Solid understanding of design constraints (SDC), RC extraction, and timing ECOs.
  • Knowledge of physical verification tools (Calibre, StarRC, Redhawk) is a plus.
  • Proficient in scripting languages such as Tcl, Perl, and Python.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
  • Willing to work in Bayan Lepas, Penang Malaysia.

Note : Preferred Malaysia-based candidates. Expats are welcome to apply.
