Physical Design Engineer: Die-to-Die Interface (RTL to GDSII)

The role

This person will drive Die-to-Die physical implementation from RTL to GDSII. They will own the full physical design flow and focus on closing high-speed D2D interfaces for multi-die/chiplet architectures.

What you will do

• Lead Die-to-Die (D2D) physical implementation and closure.
• Take high-speed D2D PHYs/controllers from netlist to tapeout.
• Own the full PD flow including synthesis, floorplanning, P&R, CTS, optimization, and sign-off.
• Drive timing and verification including full STA, SI analysis, and sign-off quality DRC/LVS.
• Improve and maintain physical design methodologies, flows, and automation scripts.
• Partner with full-chip/chiplet teams to meet tapeout requirements.
• Partner with analog design team to resolve interface issues.
• Apply EDA tool expertise across Synopsys, Cadence, and Mentor.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years as an ASIC Physical Design Engineer at advanced nodes (7nm or below).
• Multiple successful tapeouts.
• Strong in full-chip implementation across synthesis, floorplanning, place-and-route, CTS, and sign-off.
• Familiar with high-speed interfaces (D2D, PCIe, HBM, SerDes).
• Knowledge of timing, signal integrity, and power integrity.
• Proficiency with STA, constraints, and closure for complex, high-speed designs.
• Ability to use automation scripts (Tcl, Python).
• B.S./M.S. in EE/CE or related field.

Benefits

• highly competitive compensation package
• benefits

Before you apply
