Physical Design & Flow Methodology Engineer

This role sits at the core of a high-performance processor IP team, owning PPA optimization, building scalable RTL-to-GDSII flows, and supporting customers through integration and tapeout. You will work across architecture, RTL, and physical design to drive real silicon outcomes and meet aggressive performance, power, and area targets across nodes.

Role & Responsibilities

• Drive PPA optimization across timing, area, leakage, and dynamic power
• Apply low-power techniques and tune synthesis/P&R for aggressive targets
• Build and maintain reusable RTL-to-GDSII reference flows
• Develop automation using TCL/Python to improve flow efficiency
• Collaborate with architecture and RTL teams to influence design trade-offs
• Support customers from evaluation to tapeout, resolving implementation issues
• Contribute to PPA modeling and feasibility analysis for pre-sales
