ASIC Physical Design Staff Engineer (Ho Chi Minh City or Da Nang, Vietnam)
Role Summary
Senior physical design engineer responsible for leading place-and-route, timing closure, and silicon-ready physical implementation for ASIC projects. The role collaborates with RTL designers, timing engineers, DFT teams, and EDA tool teams to deliver tapeout-ready blocks at advanced process nodes.
Onsite role based in Ho Chi Minh City or Da Nang, Vietnam.
Experience Level
Senior - staff-level engineer. Typically expected to have 7+ years of ASIC physical design experience or equivalent senior-level background.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead physical implementation (floorplanning, placement, routing) and timing closure for complex ASIC blocks.
- Develop and maintain P&R and signoff flows; drive integration with STA and DFT processes.
- Analyze timing, congestion, power, and signal integrity; propose and implement optimizations.
- Coordinate with RTL, verification, and tapeout teams to meet schedule and quality targets.
- Mentor and review work of junior engineers; provide technical leadership on project delivery.
Requirements
Must-have and preferred qualifications:
- Must-have: Several years of hands-on ASIC physical design and signoff experience (place-and-route, STA, clocking, power closure).
- Must-have: Proficiency with common physical design and signoff tools and flows and scripting for automation (Tcl/Python/Perl).
- Must-have: Strong problem-solving skills in timing closure, congestion management, and physical optimization for advanced nodes.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with specific commercial tools (e.g., Synopsys/Calibre/other P&R and signoff tools) and large-block or full-chip delivery.
- Nice-to-have: Prior leadership or technical lead experience on tapeout projects.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
