Digital Business Unit (DBU) is seeking a Physical Design Director to lead the
development of complex SoCs manufactured on leading-edge process nodes with low
power & t high-speed designs. These SoCs integrate multiple processor cores and
high-performance signal processing hardware. The role involves driving
end-to-end physical implementation of ASIC/SoC designs, ensuring optimal
performance, power, and area (PPA) while meeting timing and manufacturability
requirements. Key Responsibilities Directed end-to-end RTL-to-GDSII execution
across multiple SoC programs, driving synthesis, floorplanning, placement, CTS,
routing, and signoff to achieve predictable tapeouts. Owned timing, power, and
physical signoff strategy, including STA, SI, IR/EM analysis, ensuring
first-pass silicon success and high design reliability. Drove PPA optimization
at the architecture and implementation levels through congestion management,
advanced routing methodologies, and library strategy. Established and enforced
DRC/LVS closure methodologies, led physical verification, and streamlined ECO
flows to meet aggressive tapeout schedules. Partnered with RTL, DFT, packaging,
and system teams to align design, testability, and manufacturability goals
across the product lifecycle. Built and scaled high-performing physical design
teams; mentored senior engineers and technical leads while fostering a culture
of execution excellence. Defined and deployed automated design methodologies
using TCL, Python, and Perl; collaborated with CAD teams to improve flow
efficiency and scalability. Delivered multiple high-complexity designs on
advanced nodes (22nm, 16nm, 5nm, 3nm), managing risk, schedules, and
cross-functional dependencies. Championed low-power design strategies (UPF/CPF),
enabling power-efficient architectures aligned with product requirements.
Position Requirements Education: B.Tech/M.Tech (or higher) in
Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field. Experience: 15+ years in
physical design with a proven track record of leadership and successful tapeouts
of complex, high-performance SoCs across advanced nodes (28nm, 22nm, 16nm, 10nm,
5nm and below). Technical Expertise: Deep expertise in full-chip physical
design, including floorplanning, power planning, placement & routing, clock
architecture/CTS, extraction, and full signoff methodologies. Signoff & Quality:
Strong command of STA, constraint development, and signoff closure (timing, SI,
IR/EM), with a focus on first-pass silicon success and predictable delivery.
Methodology & Innovation: Proven ability to define, drive, and scale design
methodologies and flows to achieve QoR (PPA) targets, improve efficiency, and
ensure execution predictability. Technology Depth: Solid understanding of
device, interconnect, and circuit challenges in advanced/Udsm nodes, with
experience navigating scaling complexities. Automation & CAD Collaboration:
Proficiency in TCL, Python, or similar scripting, with a track record of driving
automation and partnering with CAD teams for flow enhancements. Cross-functional
Influence: Strong collaboration with RTL, DFT, packaging, product, and system
teams to align on design, test, and manufacturing goals. Communication &
Stakeholder Management: Excellent communication skills with the ability to
influence executive stakeholders and operate effectively in global,
cross-functional environments. For positions requiring access to technical data,
