Staff Physical Design Engineer
Join an Israel-based semiconductor R&D team developing complex connectivity chips for large-scale AI infrastructure. Own top-level SoC physical design from implementation through tape-out and signoff.
תחומי אחריות
- Execute top-level SoC physical design and drive full-chip convergence.
- Perform floorplanning, place and route, clock-tree synthesis, power and clock distribution, power-integrity analysis, and timing and physical signoff.
- Drive tape-out GDS delivery against timing, LVS, EMIR, DRC, and other signoff criteria.
- Collaborate with architecture, design, DFT, product, and package teams to optimize power, performance, and area.
- Support architecture feasibility studies and optimize implementation runs for quality of results.
- Resolve signal-integrity, thermal, and power challenges in high-speed connectivity silicon.
- Develop bump-map-to-ballout designs with the package team while addressing signal-integrity requirements.
