PD Technical Manager

Job Requirements Hardware Physical Design Engineer

Google G Chips is seeking experienced Physical Design Engineers to drive the implementation and optimization of next-generation SoC designs. The role involves owning key aspects of the physical design flow and delivering high-quality silicon that meets aggressive Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) targets.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive physical design activities including floorplanning, Place & Route (PnR), Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS), and timing closure. • Perform PPA optimization and resolve timing, congestion, and power-related challenges. • Develop and validate timing constraints and perform Static Timing Analysis (STA). • Execute and debug LEC, VCLP, and EMIR signoff checks. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to achieve design and tapeout milestones.

Required Skills:

• Strong experience in ASIC/SoC Physical Design and implementation. • Expertise in PnR, CTS, STA, timing convergence, timing constraints, and PPA optimization. • Hands-on experience with LEC, VCLP, and EMIR analysis. • Cadence Innovus experience is mandatory. • Experience with Synopsys Fusion Compiler is also acceptable. • Strong debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred:

• Experience with advanced technology nodes (7nm and below). • Scripting knowledge in Tcl, Perl, or Python.
