ASIC Physical Design Engineer - Synthesis and Timing - (Associate or Experienced)
Position overviewWe are hiring an ASIC Physical Design Engineer - Synthesis and Timing to help implement advanced SoCs used in mission-critical satellite and space applications. You will own portions of the full physical design flow-from synthesis and STA through ECOs and tapeout-collaborating closely with architecture, RTL, verification and outside companies.
Key Responsibilities- Help in driving frontend and backend implementation including synthesis, equivalence checking, floor-planning, timing constraints, timing and power convergence, and ECO implementation
- Ensure clean netlist handoffs and predictable convergence by partnering with RTL, verification, DFT, and backend partner companies
- Support chip-level integration, top-level timing closure, signoff readiness, and tapeout activities
- Contribute to methodology, automation, tool evaluations, and flow documentation
- Troubleshoot complex cross-domain timing issues and propose robust, repeatable fixes
How to make your application stand out:If you are a creative, autonomous engineer passionate about building your career in ASIC Physical design engineering for ASICs, we want to hear from you. Please include a cover letter/brief summary of relevant ASIC physical design experience when submitting your application.
