ASIC Implementation Engineer
BroadcomJob Title
ASIC Implementation Engineer
Role Summary
Join Broadcom's ASIC Products Division as a physical design/implementation engineer focused on taking netlists to silicon for next-generation AI designs. The role centers on physical design, timing closure, place-and-route, and working with IC design RTL engineers to achieve tape-out.
This is an on-site position based at Broadcom's San Jose campus; remote work is not permitted.
Experience Level
Senior — 8+ years of relevant physical-design or ASIC implementation experience.
Responsibilities
The engineer will deliver physical design deliverables and closure for complex ASICs, contribute to flows and methodology, and coordinate with RTL designers.
- Execute physical design flow from floorplanning through tape-out (place & route, DRC/LVS coordination).
- Perform timing closure, including top-level STA strategies and optimizations.
- Implement clock tree synthesis; optimize insertion, skew balancing, and custom clock trees.
- Conduct EM/IR analysis and sign-off activities.
- Develop and improve implementation flows and methodologies.
- Collaborate with RTL/logic designers to resolve implementation and timing issues.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience.
- Proven experience across the full physical-design cycle (RTL to tape-out).
- Strong proficiency with industry EDA tools for implementation, STA, and sign-off.
- Scripting skills (TCL, Perl) for automation and flow development.
- Demonstrated ability to achieve timing closure at the block and top level.
- Effective verbal and written communication skills for cross-team collaboration.
Education Requirements
Minimum: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Electronics Engineering. The posting specifies 8+ years of relevant experience in lieu of higher academic requirements.
