Responsibilities

  • Block-level physical implementation from RTL to GDSII, focusing on timing, power, and area (PPA) optimization for high-speed SerDes and interconnect subsystems.

  • Own advanced physical design tasks including:
    • EM/IR and power grid optimization for high‑current blocks
    • Congestion mitigation and routing‑aware floorplanning
    • RC‑aware timing closure across corners and PVTs
    • Clock tree synthesis and skew management across domains
  • Drive signoff closure: DRC, LVS, antenna, ERC, and tapeout readiness using industry‑standard tools (e.g., Innovus, ICC2, Calibre, Voltus, RedHawk).
