Job description

Physical Design Engineer โ€“ 3D-IC

Location: Sunnyvale, CA

Work Arrangement: Hybrid

Experience: 5โ€“10 Years

Employment Type: Full-Time

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Physical Design Engineer โ€“ 3D-IC to join our semiconductor engineering team. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience in ASIC/SoC Physical Design, including complete RTL-to-GDSII implementation, timing and physical signoff, and advanced-node tape-outs.

The candidate should have experience working with 5nm/3nm/2nm technologies, advanced physical design methodologies, and preferably 3D-IC, multi-die, or heterogeneous integration. Strong scripting skills, particularly Tcl, are required for methodology development and design automation.

Key ResponsibilitiesFull-Chip Physical Design
  • Own and execute the RTL-to-GDSII physical design flow from synthesis through final signoff.
  • Perform physical-aware synthesis, floorplanning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and optimization.
  • Drive design implementation to achieve timing, power, area, and quality-of-results (QoR) targets.
  • Perform timing closure and implement necessary ECOs throughout the design cycle.
3D-IC & Multi-Die Implementation
  • Support physical implementation of 3D-IC, 2.5D, heterogeneous integration, and multi-die architectures.
  • Perform TSV (Through-Silicon Via) planning and analyze die-to-die interconnect considerations.
  • Work with advanced packaging and 3D integration teams to address physical design challenges.
  • Analyze and resolve IR drop, electromigration (EM), thermal, and signal-integrity issues across multi-die designs.
Timing, Power & Signoff
  • Perform static timing analysis (STA) and drive timing closure for high-performance designs operating at 1GHz+.
  • Develop and execute MCMM/MMCM implementation and signoff strategies.
  • Analyze and resolve setup/hold violations, clock skew, crosstalk, and signal-integrity issues.
  • Implement low-power designs using UPF/CPF and support power-intent verification.
  • Perform or support IR-drop and EM analysis and physical signoff.
Methodology & Automation
  • Develop and maintain physical design methodologies and flows.
  • Create automation and productivity solutions using Tcl (mandatory), Python, and/or Perl.
  • Automate repetitive implementation, analysis, reporting, and signoff tasks.
  • Collaborate with IP, RTL, STA, DFT, packaging, foundry, and EDA teams to resolve implementation challenges.
  • Work with foundry and IP partners to ensure technology and design requirements are met.
Required Qualifications
  • 5โ€“10 years of hands-on experience in ASIC/SoC Physical Design.
  • Multiple successful full-cycle tape-outs from RTL through GDSII.
  • Experience with advanced semiconductor process nodes, preferably 5nm, 3nm, or 2nm.
  • Strong understanding of the complete RTL-to-GDSII implementation flow.
  • Strong experience with floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, optimization, and timing closure.
  • Hands-on experience with MCMM/MMCM, STA, signal integrity, IR drop, and EM analysis.
  • Experience implementing high-frequency designs (1GHz+).
  • Experience with low-power design methodologies using UPF/CPF.
  • Strong hands-on experience with one or more industry-standard EDA flows:
  • Cadence: Innovus, Tempus, Voltus
  • Synopsys: ICC2, PrimeTime
  • Strong Tcl scripting skills โ€“ mandatory.
  • Proficiency in Python and/or Perl is highly desirable.
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills with the ability to work across multiple design disciplines.
