Junior Physical Design Engineer
Join an ASIC physical design team implementing and verifying complex digital designs from netlist to GDSII across advanced FinFET process technologies. The role supports backend design flows, timing closure, physical verification, automation, and cross-functional handoffs.
תחומי אחריות
- Support floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis, and routing under senior engineer guidance
- Assist with timing closure, static timing analysis, path debugging, and constraint verification
- Run and analyze IR drop, signal integrity, and electromigration reports
- Execute DRC, LVS, and DFM physical verification flows and triage violations
- Develop and maintain Python and TCL scripts for report parsing, constraint generation, and batch runs
- Contribute to physical design flow development and document automation scripts and runsets
- Explore AI-assisted tools for constraint checking, violation triage, and design-space exploration
- Collaborate with front-end, DFT, and verification teams on design handoffs and ECO implementation
