• 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 – 1million+ 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 .
