Staff/Senior Staff Physical Design Floorplan & PDN Lead

Experience: 10–14 Years

Location: Bangalore/2 days to work

Department: RTL-to-GDSII / Physical Implementation

Role Overview

We are seeking a high-caliber Staff or Senior Staff Physical Design Engineer with a specialized mastery of Floorplanning and Power Delivery Network (PDN) design. You won’t just be pushing buttons; you will be the architectural bridge between RTL/Systems and the final GDSII. This role requires a visionary who understands how a single floorplan decision ripples through the entire PPA (Power, Performance, Area) spectrum.

As a technical lead, you will own the chip-top floorplan for complex, large-scale SoCs or Sub-chips, driving strategies that balance aggressive performance targets with robust power integrity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architectural Floorplanning: Lead chip-level floorplanning, including macro placement, pin assignment, and partition definition for multi-million gate designs.
  • Strategic PDN Design: Architect and implement complex Power Delivery Networks. You will define the metal stack usage and grid density to support high-performance cores while minimizing routing congestion.
  • EMIR Mastery: Perform exhaustive IR-drop (Static/Dynamic) and Electromigration (EM) analysis. You must be able to diagnose root causes and propose architectural or physical fixes that don't compromise timing.
  • Cross-Functional PPA Trade-offs: Collaborate directly with RTL and Architecture teams. You will use "Design Thinking" to influence the micro-architecture, suggesting changes to bus widths, pipeline stages, or memory configurations to optimize physical outcomes.
  • Methodology Development: Establish best practices and automated flows for floorplanning and PDN synthesis to be used by the wider implementation team.

Technical Requirements

  • Core Experience: 10+ years in Physical Design with a proven track record of multiple successful tape-outs at advanced nodes (7nm, 5nm, or 3nm).
  • PDN Expertise:Ability to model complex power-up sequences and multi-voltage domains.
  • Floorplanning Savvy: Deep proficiency in hierarchical physical design and top-level integration using industry-standard tools (Innovus or IC Compiler II).
  • Analysis Skills: Strong understanding of thermal-aware PDN and the physical implications of high-current density paths.
  • Scripting: Advanced proficiency in Tcl, Python, or Perl to automate complex floorplanning tasks and data analysis.

Behavioral Attributes

  • Critical Thinker: You don't just follow a recipe. You question constraints and look for "hidden" PPA gains.
  • Design Thinking: Ability to empathize with the challenges of upstream (RTL) and downstream (Sign-off) teams to create a holistic solution.
  • Influence: You can articulate technical trade-offs to stakeholders,

Education

  • B.Tech/M.Tech in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or equivalent.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
