PHYSICAL DESIGN ENGINEER Portuguese Consultancy hires for hybrid work in Lisbon / Portugal.Only resumes will be accepted from those who already live in Portugal.FLUENT PORTUGUESE AND ENGLISH (B2) Please send only CV's in English.Your Responsibilities Will Include: Overseeing all aspects of Physical Design at either the full chip or block level, particularly in highly advanced technology nodes (10nm and below). Engaging deeply in floorplanning, partitioning/budgeting, power mesh distribution, clock tree planning and analysis, Scan re-ordering, placement, CTS, and place and route. Handling all relevant activities related to timing analysis, ensuring closure through sign-off, including SI/noise, and performing ECO tasks (both functional and timing). Leading validation/qualification tasks such as Formal Verification, EM/IR, DRC, LVS, Antenna, and ERC analysis and fixes. Contributing to the overall development and implementation of Low Power solutions. Developing/enhancing timing-related scripts for tasks like clock skew analysis, critical path analysis, various IO interfaces, and constraints partitioning/budgeting (from top-level to block level). Successfully completing multiple design cycles of high complexity with minimal supervision. We're Seeking Candidates With: 8+ years (preferred) of experience in challenging RTL2GDSII work conducted on 10nm or below nodes, with designs containing 500k – 1 million+ instances. Proficiency in using PnR and timing analysis CAD tools from Synopsys and/or Cadence. Good understanding of synthesis flow, DFT scan/coverage, and optimization. Excellent skills in floorplan, power plan, CTS, place, route, and timing closure. Proficiency in Perl/TCL/Python scripting and Makefile. Expertise in timing STA/PTSI – signal integrity closure, and ECO generation/implementation. Strong capabilities in EM/IR, DRC, LVS, ERC analysis, and fixing. Experience with sign-off tape-out closure work. Any experience in top-level activities like floor planning, pin assignment, and tape-out is advantageous.
