Physical Design Engineer

Job Overview

Join G.t.d Technologies, a company specializing in semiconductor manufacturing, as a Physical Design Engineer based in Hyderabad, India. This role demands leading chip and block-level physical design projects from RTL to GDSII, adhering to AMD workflows and ensuring high-quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead full chip/block-level physical design efforts spanning from RTL to GDSII implementation.
• Apply AMD flow methodologies rigorously to maintain design quality and compliance.
• Handle critical design tasks including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, timing optimization, IR drop analysis, and electromigration (EM) closure.
• Collaborate closely with teams covering front-end design, Design for Test (DFT), and physical verification to guarantee integration cohesion.
• Oversee project timelines, monitor quality metrics, and provide technical leadership to resolve engineering challenges.
• Manage signoff activities involving static timing analysis (STA), layout versus schematic (LVS), design rule checking (DRC), and power verification with industry-standard EDA tools.
• Mentor junior physical design engineers through reviews and hands-on technical guidance.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Minimum of 8 years’ practical experience in block or chip-level physical design.
• Mandatory advanced expertise working with AMD physical design flows.
• Proficient use of electronic design automation (EDA) tools including Cadence Innovus, Synopsys ICC2, PrimeTime, Voltus, RedHawk, and Mentor Calibre.
• Comprehensive knowledge of timing analysis, power optimization, congestion mitigation, and signal integrity.
• Experience with cutting-edge semiconductor process technologies at 7nm node, 5nm, or more advanced nodes.
• Excellent abilities in troubleshooting and problem resolution associated with physical design.
• Strong communication, leadership qualities, and skills in coordinating cross-functional teams.

Eligibility

Applicants should hold a B.Tech or B.E. degree in any specialization.
