• Proficiency in automation and scripting (Makefile, Tcl, Python, or Perl) to improve design efficiency and flow robustness

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders

• Experience developing and deploying advanced physical design methodologies and flows

• Familiarity with AI/ML-driven optimisation in physical design tools is a plus

What We Offer

• Competitive salary, commensurate with your qualifications and experience

• The chance to work on cutting-edge SoC/ASIC projects

• Strong technical mentorship and clear career growth

• Ownership of complex blocks and top-level implementation work

• Exposure to global semiconductor customers

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.
