The Physical Design Engineer joins the hardware team to execute critical PHY design efforts in collaboration with architecture, CAD, timing, and logic design teams. This role involves managing all phases of physical design from RTL through GDSII delivery for high-performance PHY designs. Key responsibilities include generating block and chip level static timing constraints, building full chip floorplans including pin placement and power grids, and developing low-power clock network guidelines. The engineer will perform place and route to meet timing, area, and power constraints while implementing ECOs to fix noise and EM IR violations. Required skills include proficiency in Verilog, Perl, Tcl, and industry-standard physical design and synthesis tools. The role focuses on solving complex high-performance PHY and SoC integration challenges through advanced floor-planning, extraction, STA methodology, and LVS/DRC verification.
