Physical Design Engineer
RenesasJob Title
Physical Design Engineer
Role Summary
Join the Analog Backend team to implement the digital island within mixed-signal/analog ASICs. The role focuses on executing and improving the ASIC physical design flow for digital blocks embedded in analog environments.
Work includes floorplanning, placement and routing, clock-tree synthesis, power-integrity analysis, and physical sign-off while collaborating with analog designers and verification engineers.
Experience Level
Mid-level. Specific years of experience not stated.
Responsibilities
Core responsibilities include:
- Implement and optimize floorplanning, placement, clock-tree synthesis, routing, and physical verification for ASIC designs.
- Optimize designs for performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Perform chip-level power integrity analysis across multiple voltage domains (IR drop, signal electromigration, power electromigration).
- Integrate digital implementation into analog environments (digital islands in analog chips).
- Collaborate with global cross-functional teams, including analog designers and verification engineers.
Requirements
Must-have and preferred technical qualifications:
- Must-have: Experience in ASIC physical design with strong understanding of floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and sign-off checks.
- Must-have: Knowledge of power integrity analysis (IR drop and electromigration).
- Ability to work effectively in an international, collaborative team environment.
- Nice-to-have: Analog layout experience.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
