Physical Design (PD) Engineers

Job Description Roles & Responsibilities ASAL Technologies is assembling a team of PD Engineers for a high-end multinational company. The team will be working with top notch engineers in the semiconductor industry from all over the world. About the Role: We are seeking highly skilled and detail-oriented Physical Design (PD) Engineers to join our silicon development team. In this role, you will be responsible for transforming complex digital circuit from (RTL / netlists) into (GDSII). You will collaborate closely with design, architecture, and DFT (Design for Test) teams to achieve aggressive Performance, Power, and Area (PPA) targets for next-generation chips. Key Responsibilities: Full Flow Execution: Drive block-level and chip-level implementation through the entire RTL-to-GDSII flow, including floor planning, placement, Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS), routing, and physical verification. PPA Optimization: Identify and resolve critical path timing issues, optimize routing congestion, and minimize power consumption (both static and dynamic leakage). Timing & Sign-off: Perform Static Timing Analysis (STA) across multiple process corners, manage constraints, and execute timing closure. Physical Verification: Validate designs against industry standards using Design Rule Checking (DRC), Layout Versus Schematic (LVS), and Electrical Rule Checking (ERC) to ensure high-yield manufacturing. Flow Automation: Develop, maintain, and optimize design flow automation scripts to improve turnaround time and efficiency. Desired Candidate Profile Bachelor s or Master s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Deep understanding of VLSI and CMOS technology, deep-submicron process effects, static timing analysis concepts, and digital logic design. Hands-on experience with major industry-standard Physical Design tools (e.g., Synopsys / Cadence ) Innovus / IC Compiler II, PrimeTime, Calibre. Strong scripting skills in TCL, Python, or Perl for tool automation and productivity enhancement. Strong written and verbal English skills.
