HBM SoC Physical Design Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Own physical implementation for SoC blocks and/or top‑level, including floor‑planning, placement, CTS, routing, and physical optimization to meet PPA targets.
• Drive timing closure (setup/hold) across multi‑mode/multi‑corner (MMMC) 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 and/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 debug 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 or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of STA fundamentals, clocking, constraints (SDC), and common closure techniques (buffering, path shaping, useful skew, etc.).
• Experience with power intent and power delivery considerations (e.g., UPF/CPF concepts, power grid planning, power gating implications).
• 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.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 10 years of experience in a related field.
• Proven ability to mentor and develop engineers early in their careers.
