Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced ASIC Implementation Engineer to drive physical design execution on next-generation, high-complexity system-on-chip (SoC) architectures across advanced FinFET process nodes (e.g., 5nm, 3nm, 2nm).

In this role, you will lead critical implementation disciplines - from floorplanning through to clocking, power integrity, and final timing signoff. You will work closely with architecture, RTL, CAD, and package engineering teams, as well as external foundry partners and customers worldwide, to ensure first-pass silicon success under demanding performance, power, and area (PPA) constraints.

• Full-Flow Physical Implementation: Drive block- and top-level implementation flows, including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and post-route optimization.
• Timing & Signal Integrity Closure: Perform static timing analysis (STA), crosstalk analysis, and signal integrity signoff across all PVT corners and operating modes.
• Physical Verification: Execute DRC, LVS, antenna, and ERC checks, resolving complex multi-patterning and design-rule violations associated with advanced lithography.
• Tool & Flow Optimization: Leverage and benchmark industry-standard EDA tool suites (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens) to continuously enhance flow automation, runtime efficiency, and PPA metrics.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with geographically distributed teams, customers, and foundry interface teams to resolve implementation bottlenecks and adapt quickly to shifting project requirements.

Requirements:

• BS Degree in Electrical Engineering and 13+ years related experience or MS in Electrical Engineering and 10+ years related work experience.

Compensation and Benefits

The annual base salary range for this position is USD 143,800.00 To USD 230,000.00
