About the Role
We are seeking a New College Graduate Physical Design Engineer to join our high-impact Silicon Engineering team. You'll work on next-generation IP (eFPGA) designs for AI, data center, and connectivity applications - collaborating closely with front-end and verification teams to deliver industry-leading silicon.
As part of our Physical Design organization, you will be hands-on with advanced-node implementation flows (16nm,5nm, 4nm, and beyond), gaining exposure to the full ASIC backend cycle from RTL to GDSII.
Key Responsibilities- Contribute to block- and top-level implementation, including floor planning, placement, CTS, routing, and optimization.
- Perform timing closure, power optimization, and physical verification across multiple corners and scenarios.
- Collaborate with RTL and synthesis teams to resolve timing and congestion bottlenecks.
- Support signoff analysis including STA, IR-drop, and EM.
- Develop scripts and automation in Python, Tcl, or Shell to enhance flow efficiency.
- Participate in ECO (Engineering Change Order) implementation and final tape-out activities.
- Engage in regular cross-functional reviews with architecture, low-power, and packaging teams.
- Document and present learnings as part of continuous improvement within the Physical Design flow.
Required Qualifications- M.S. or B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (M.S. preferred).
- Strong academic foundation in VLSI design, CMOS fundamentals, digital logic, and timing analysis.
- Understanding of the ASIC design flow - from RTL through P&R and signoff.
- Familiarity with EDA tools (Cadence InnovTempus, Synopsys ICC2/PrimeTime, Ansys RedHawk, etc.).
- Working knowledge of Tcl, Python, or Shell scripting.
- Excellent analytical and debugging skills, with a strong attention to detail.
- Effective communicator and team player with a desire to learn and innovate.
Preferred Qualifications- Internship or project experience in Physical Design or ASIC implementation.
- Exposure to timing ECO, low-power design (UPF), and DFT integration.
- Understanding of power-performance-area (PPA) tradeoffs.
- Familiarity with clocking and power intent (multi-voltage/multi-domain) concepts.
What We Offer- Hands-on training in advanced-node physical design flows (16nm/5nm/4nm).
- Opportunity to contribute to production-quality silicon tape-outs early in your career.
- Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and flexible work options.
- A culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.
