About the role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Engineer to join our Silicon Engineering Team in Hyderabad. In this role, you will drive the design, implementation, and optimization of advanced SoCs using state-of-the-art physical design methodologies in low power. You will be a domain expert in area of Physical Verification and EM/IR drop analysis and fixing. You will work with close collaboration with PD leads and FP/PnR engineers across multiple SOCs to fix Floorplan & PG Grid issues. Ensure Signal/Power Integrity and run Static/Dynamic IR analysis using Industry standard tools, Own Physical Verification starting from FP till PG while mentoring junior members of engineers and collaborating with cross-functional groups. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to world-class silicon solutions and grow as a technical leader.

Responsibilities:

Lead and execute the end-to-end low power & physical verification flow including but not limited to DRC, LVS , PERC & resistance checks for complex SoCs and IP blocks (RTL handoff to GDSII).
Understand the Analog / Backplane IP Integration guidelines & ensure compliance.
Run power analysis and Define/drive strategies for Signal & Power EM analysis to be deployed across multiple SoCs.
Run Static & Dynamic IR analysis at various stages of designs and provide feedback.
Debug grid weakness/RCA and provide solutions to meet stringent IR drop targets.
Collaborate with Floorplan, PnR and IO ring responsible and packaging teams for seamless integration and alignments.
Responsible for GDS streamout, versioning check, PG fill insertion, density checks and PG.
Drive EDA tool automation and methodology improvements for efficiency and scalability.
Be a domain SPOC and mentor, guide junior members to foster technical growth.
Work with foundries and vendors on process bring-up, PDK updates, and tape-out readiness.

Requirements:

Bachelor's/Master's degree in ECE, EEE or related fields.
4+ years of experience in ASIC physical design with focus on PV/Power/EM/IR drop analysis
Strong hands-on expertise in Industry standard tools like – Cadence Innovus, Voltus , Pegasus, Mentor-Calibre etc
Deep understanding of the architecture-to-GDSII flow and sign-off requirements.
Excellent problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills.
