About the Role

You will own end-to-end physical implementation for RISC-V CPU and AI accelerator IP blocks. You will perform synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and GDSII signoff, develop implementation collateral, and work with RTL owners to meet power, performance, and delivery targets.

Requirements

  • BS, MS, or PhD in EE, ECE, CE, or CS
  • 5+ years of block-level or IP-centric physical design through tapeout
  • Expertise with Innovus, ICC2, FusionCompiler, and PrimeTime
  • Proficiency in Tcl, Python, and Perl
  • Understanding of advanced-node challenges, low-power design, and signoff
  • Experience with floorplanning, power grids, pin placement, clocking, and IP integration collateral

Responsibilities

  • Own physical implementation of IP blocks from synthesis through GDSII signoff
  • Perform synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure
  • Close critical paths and meet power budgets with RTL owners
  • Build floorplans, power grids, pin placement, and clocking strategies
  • Deliver IP integration collateral and signoff reports
