Physical Design Engineer

Overview

Physical Design Engineer role at Baya Systems, a Series B startup building software-driven unified fabric IP and development platforms for single-die and multi-die (chiplet) semiconductor systems.

What you'll do

• Own RTL to GDS physical implementation flows for synthesis, floor-planning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, timing and power closure, EM/IR, PDV and final physical design sign-off
• Own physical design and implementation of high-performance designs from block level to system level components
• Collaborate deeply with micro-architects to explore performance, power and area trade-offs for high-performance and low-power designs
• Perform physical implementation feasibility studies and design recommendations for best PPA
• Develop methodologies and recipes for various stages of physical implementation
• Perform physical design validation (PDV) flows for timing, power, EM/IR, etc. to ensure physical design quality
• Perform design rule checking (DRC), layout vs. schematic (LVS) checks, and other physical verification tasks

What you'll need

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related degree
• Experience in all aspects of physical design including synthesis, floor planning, place and route, timing and power closure, EM/IR, physical design validation, etc.
