HBM SoC Physical Design Engineer

Role Summary

As a SoC Physical Design Engineer in the Heterogeneous Integration Group (HIG), you will drive the implementation of advanced HBM SoC logic/base die designs from netlist to GDSII, working closely with RTL design, verification, DFT, IP providers, packaging/assembly, and manufacturing teams to deliver best‑in‑class PPA and robust signoff collateral for tape‑out.

• Own physical implementation for SoC blocks and/or top‑level, including floor‑planning, placement, CTS, routing, and physical optimization.
• Drive timing closure across multi‑mode/multi‑corner scenarios; partner with RTL, architecture, and STA/signoff to converge designs.
• Integrate and implement complex IP (e.g., controllers, microcontrollers, NOC, interfaces, MBIST/DFT logic, buffers, PHY‑adjacent logic) with focus on robust physical integration and timing/power integrity.
• Perform or coordinate physical signoff, including DRC/LVS, IR drop/EM, and timing signoff, addressing violations efficiently.
• Partner with DFT teams to ensure scan/MBIST requirements are physically realizable and do not compromise PPA or schedule.
• Work with packaging, assembly, test, probe, and manufacturing collaborators to ensure builds meet manufacturability and quality requirements.
• Support tape‑out execution (checklists, ECO flows, signoff reviews) and contribute to post‑silicon debugging by correlating silicon behavior with PD/STA/power analysis.
• Identify flow gaps and improve productivity through scripting/automation and best‑practice methodology development.

• Strong experience in SoC physical design implementation from netlist to GDSII on advanced nodes and complex designs.
• Proficiency with industry EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Innovus/Tempus, Synopsys ICC2/Prime Time, Siemens Calibre).
• Solid understanding of STA fundamentals, clocking, constraints (SDC), and common closure techniques.
• Experience with power intent and power delivery considerations (e.g., UPF/CPF concepts, power grid planning, power gating).
• Familiarity with physical verification/signoff concepts: DRC, LVS, ERC, parasitic extraction awareness, and signoff handoff quality.

• Experience with HBM / DRAM adjacent SoC designs or memory‑subsystem‑heavy SoCs.
• Instructor or mentor experience with early‑career engineers.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 10years of experience in a related field.
