Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Insight Global is seeking a Physical Design Engineer to support the implementation of complex ASIC/SoC designs. This role involves physical design execution, timing closure, and collaboration with engineering teams to deliver high-quality silicon.
Responsibilities
- Perform full-chip and block-level physical design including synthesis, DFT integration, floorplanning, power planning, placement, CTS, routing, post-route optimization, and timing closure
- Drive timing closure across all corners and modes, addressing setup/hold, signal integrity, and IR/EM requirements
- Develop and improve physical design and DFT methodologies, flows, and automation
- Analyze and resolve timing, congestion, power, and implementation issues
- Perform physical verification including DRC, LVS, and antenna checks
- Support tapeout activities and assist with post-silicon debugging as needed
- Evaluate and integrate third-party IP, libraries, and design tools
- Automate repetitive design tasks using Python, Tcl, and shell scripting
- Collaborate with RTL, verification, and other engineering teams to ensure successful design integration
Skills
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 3+ years of ASIC physical design experience with full-chip and/or large-block implementation
- Proven experience with synthesis, physical implementation, timing closure, DFT integration (scan, JTAG, MBIST, LBIST), and silicon tapeouts
- Strong knowledge of CMOS process technology, static timing analysis, timing constraints, power integrity, signal integrity, and DRC/LVS debugging
- Hands-on experience with Synopsys Design Compiler, ICC2/Fusion Compiler, PrimeTime, and StarRC
- Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Tcl, and shell
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and collaboration skills
- Experience developing and improving physical design and DFT methodologies
- Experience integrating third-party IP, libraries, and EDA tools
- Experience supporting post-silicon validation and debugging
- Strong communication skills and ability to manage multiple priorities in a team-oriented environment
