PD CAD (SI50FT RM 3822)

Position: PD CAD (SI50FT RM 3822)

Job Description
We are seeking a PD CAD Engineer with 5+ years of experience in physical design and CAD flow development, with strong hands-on expertise in Synopsys Fusion Compiler–based physical implementation flows. The role involves building, customizing, and supporting robust RTL-to GDSII methodologies, closely collaborating with design to enable predictable PPA closure on advanced technology nodes. This role requires solid execution capability, deep tool knowledge, and a strong understanding of PnR and signoff methodologies, not just tool operation.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, customize, and maintain end-to-end RTL-to-GDSII physical design CAD flows, with primary focus on Synopsys Fusion Compiler.
• Drive automation and methodology improvements across floor-planning, placement, CTS, routing, and post-route optimization stages.
• Effectively utilize Fusion Compiler unified flow for implementation, optimization, and convergence of PPA metrics.
• Support physical designers in timing, power, and area closure, including debug of complex convergence issues.
• Build and maintain TCL-based automation frameworks; use Perl/Python where appropriate for flow orchestration and reporting.
• Integrate MCMM methodologies into PD flows and ensure correctness and scalability across projects.
• Collaborate with signoff teams to align implementation and signoff requirements, minimizing late-stage surprises.
• Perform tool feature evaluation, regression testing, and benchmarking for new Fusion Compiler releases.
• Provide clear documentation, flow guidelines, and technical support to design teams. Required

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or a related field.
• 5+ years of industry experience in physical design or PD CAD methodology development.
• Strong hands-on experience in place-and-route and CAD flow enablement for complex SoCs or blocks.
