Physical Design Engineer

Eximietas Design
Hayward, CA

Eximietas Design is hiring a Lead Physical Design (PNR) Engineer to drive high-quality implementation for advanced-node SoCs, including AI and multi-die designs. This role is hands-on and focused on delivering robust, signoff-clean physical design.


Location: San Francisco Bay Area

Level: Senior | Advanced Node Experience Required


Role Overview

You will own key aspects of the place-and-route (PNR) flow, ensuring design closure across timing, power, and physical verification for complex SoCs at advanced nodes.

Key Responsibilities

  • End-to-end physical design implementation (floorplan → route → signoff)
  • Timing closure, congestion analysis, and physical optimization
  • Power planning and IR/EM-aware implementation
  • Integration with signoff flows (STA, IR/EM, DRC/LVS)
  • Collaboration with RTL, STA, and power integrity teams
  • Flow improvements and automation using scripting

Required Skills

  • Strong experience in PNR for advanced nodes (7nm, 5nm, or below)
  • Expertise with industry tools (Cadence Innovus and/or Synopsys ICC2)
  • Solid understanding of timing closure, signal integrity, and power analysis
  • Familiarity with EM/IR concepts and signoff flows
  • Scripting skills (Python, Tcl, or Perl)

Nice to Have

  • Experience with multi-die / 2.5D / 3DIC designs
  • Exposure to tools like Ansys RedHawk or Cadence Voltus
  • Methodology or flow development experience
