About the Role
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Principal Engineer to lead the implementation of complex ASIC/SoC designs from architecture definition through successful tape-out. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in full-chip physical design, SoC integration, advanced-node implementation, and cross-functional technical leadership.
This role requires a strong hands-on technical leader who can drive methodology, execution, and signoff while collaborating closely with Architecture, RTL, Verification, DFT, STA, Package, and Silicon Validation teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with Front-End and Architecture teams to understand chip architecture and drive physical design considerations early in the development cycle
- Lead full-chip physical implementation activities including floorplanning, power planning, clock implementation, place-and-route, timing closure, and signoff
- Drive physical design methodologies, best-known methods (BKMs), checklists, and implementation guidelines across projects
- Serve as the technical focal point for physical design execution and coordinate activities across block, subsystem, and top-level implementation teams
- Define project milestones, track progress, manage dependencies, and drive execution to meet tape-out schedules
- Collaborate with STA, DFT, RTL, Verification, Power Integrity, and Packaging teams to achieve project goals
Required Qualifications
- B.Tech or M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or related discipline
- 15+ years of ASIC/SoC Physical Design experience with proven track record of multiple successful tape-outs
- Strong understanding of ASIC/SoC integration including floorplanning, clock distribution, power distribution networks, and hard IP integration
- Hands-on experience with large-scale SoCs exceeding 20M gates operating at frequencies greater than 1GHz
- Experience in advanced technology nodes including 22nm, 16nm, 7nm, 5nm, and below
- Strong leadership skills with ability to drive execution across geographically distributed teams
Tools & Technical Skills
- Synopsys: Fusion Compiler (FC), ICC2, PrimeTime (PT), StarRC, PrimePower
- Cadence: Innovus, Tempus, Voltus, Quantus
- Physical Verification: Calibre, IC Validator (ICV), Pegasus
- Scripting & Automation: TCL, Perl, Python, Shell scripting
