** About the Role Analog Devices is seeking a Senior Physical Design Engineer to lead methodology improvements for physical design across complex chip and SoC programs. This role is focused on improving the scalability, reuse, efficiency, and predictability of physical implementation flows used across teams and projects. The person in this role will work closely with physical design, CAD, STA, DFT, and design teams to identify gaps in current flows and methodologies, drive practical flow improvements, and establish repeatable best practices that can be adopted across projects.

A strong physical design background is important, but the primary focus of the role is methodology leadership and flow enablement rather than day-to-day block ownership.

Key Responsibilities  
• Methodology Leadership :
Drive improvements to physical design methodology, with a focus on flow standardization, reuse, execution efficiency, and more predictable design closure across projects  
• Flow Development and Automation :
Own the development, refinement, and maintenance of physical design flows, scripts, and automation that reduce manual effort and improve execution quality  
• Best Practice Definition :
Define and document physical design guardrails, recommended methodologies, and repeatable flow practices for use across teams and programs  
• QoR and Flow Analysis :
Analyze power, performance, area, timing, and congestion outcomes to identify methodology gaps and recurring flow limitations and drive durable improvements  
• Cross-Functional Enablement :
Partner with physical design, CAD, STA, DFT, RTL, and project stakeholders to translate program needs into practical methodology improvements and support broader adoption across teams  
• Debug and Root Cause Resolution :
Investigate recurring implementation and convergence issues, identify the underlying flow, methodology, or design contributors, and implement robust corrective actions  
• Technical Guidance :
Provide guidance to engineers on methodology usage, flow adoption, debugging strategies, and physical design best practices that improve consistency across projects  
• Implementation Support :
Provide targeted implementation support as needed to validate methodology changes, troubleshoot critical flow issues, and ensure proposed improvements are grounded in real project needs  Must Have Skills  
• Methodology and Flow Development :
Strong experience developing and improving physical design flows, automation, and reusable implementation methods  
• Physical Design Foundation :
Solid background in digital physical design fundamentals, including floor planning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, optimization, and timing closure  
• EDA Tool Experience :

Experience with industry-standard physical design and signoff tools for implementation, analysis, and debug  
• Scripting and Automation :
Strong scripting skills to automate workflows, improve productivity, and scale methodology improvements across teams  
• Systematic Problem Solving :
Ability to analyze recurring implementation issues, identify root causes, and translate findings into durable methodology improvements  
• Cross-Functional Communication :
Ability to work effectively across physical design, CAD, verification, and project teams to drive alignment and adoption  
• Technical Judgment :
Ability to make sound tradeoffs across methodology quality, schedule, and implementation constraints  Preferred
