About the Role:
Are you looking for a career at one of the leading semiconductor companies in the world Texas Instruments (TI) is looking for a Physical design engineer to join the team of enthusiastic engineers who develops highly complex mixed signal devices for audio applications with industry leading performance.
We are seeking a skilled Digital Physical Design Engineer of 2-5 Year of industry experience with good RTL design hands-on and understanding. The candidate will be responsible for taking RTL through synthesis, floorplanning, place-and-route, timing closure, power optimization, and physical verification to tape-out. This role demands hands-on expertise in EDA tools, physical design flows, and deep knowledge of digital VLSI concepts.
Key Responsibilities:
- Execute RTL-to-GDSII physical design flow for complex SoC/ASIC blocks.
- Perform logic synthesis, floor-planning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), and routing.
- Develop/support/update design constraints.
- Drive timing closure across multiple corners and modes using static timing analysis (STA).
- Good understanding of digital timing analysis
- Optimize for area, power, and performance (PPA) at block and chip level.
- Conduct physical verification: DRC, LVS, Antenna checks, IR-drop, and EM analysis.
- Develop/support/update constraints.
- Collaborate with RTL design, verification, and architecture teams to resolve design and implementation issues.
- Provide EDA flow automation support (scripting in TCL/Perl/Python).
- Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and sign-off processes for successful tape-out.
- Highly prefer if additionally able to handle RTL coding, Digital QC(RDC/CDC/Lint). Contribute to digital design reviews and Arch reviews.
