Summary ✨ AI‑Generated

An advanced semiconductor organization is looking for an experienced physical design engineer to own floorplan-to-signoff implementation for high-performance AI accelerator blocks. You will work across synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, and signoff while using industry-standard physical design and timing tools. The role requires strong experience with advanced technology nodes and close collaboration with architecture, RTL, software, EDA, and manufacturing partners.

Highlights

Own end-to-end physical design and signoff for advanced AI accelerator silicon. The role offers deep technical ownership, collaboration across architecture, RTL, EDA, software, and foundry teams, and opportunities to develop AI-assisted design flows for high-performance chips.

Description

About The Role Own floorplan-to-signoff physical design for one or more blocks of our AI accelerator silicon. Work with chip-design and software teams driving DensityAI's AI accelerator program from first silicon through scale-out. What you'll do Own floorplan-to-signoff physical design for one or more blocks of our AI accelerator siliconUse and develop AI-assisted tool flows to accelerate physical design and signoff timelines What we're looking for Exceptional abilities across the full physical design flow (synthesis, place & route, CTS, signoff)8+ years of experience on very high performance designs at advanced technology nodes (7nm or better)Hands-on with industry-standard PD tools (Cadence Innovus, Synopsys Fusion Compiler, or equivalent) and signoff (PrimeTime, Tempus, or equivalent)Demonstrated ability to work closely with architects, RTL designers, EDA vendors, and foundries to design and sign off complex chips(Optional) Multi-die packaging (CoWoS, 2.5D / 3D), thermal / IR / EM signoff, signal integrity, or DFT-aware physical design Compensation Final offers depend on level, location, and skills relevant to the role.
