Physical Design Engineer (Onsite, PKR Salary)

Requirements: Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. 3+ years of experience in physical design of digital, mixed-signal, or RF integrated circuits. Strong knowledge of VLSI design principles and semiconductor manufacturing processes. Hands-on experience with physical design tools such as Synopsys, Cadence, or Mentor Graphics. Experience in floorplanning, place & route, timing analysis, timing closure, and physical verification (DRC and LVS). Ability to optimize Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) and familiarity with low-power design techniques. Exposure to advanced process nodes (7nm, 5nm, etc.) is a plus. Ability to write and maintain automation scripts using TCL, Python, or Perl. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Good communication skills and ability to work well with different teams. Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and able to work independently. Able to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced work environment. Responsibilities: Implement and optimize the physical design flow for digital, mixed-signal, and RF integrated circuits. Perform floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and timing closure. Collaborate with RTL design, verification, and hardware teams to ensure design specifications are met. Conduct timing analysis, identify violations, and drive timing convergence using industry best practices. Execute and review Design Rule Checking (DRC) and Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) verification. Optimize Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) metrics across all stages of the design. Develop, enhance, and maintain scripts and automation flows to improve design efficiency. Generate and review physical design reports and documentation. Support design integration activities and assist in resolving physical implementation challenges. Stay updated with advancements in physical design methodologies, EDA tools, and semiconductor process technologies. Job Locations: Islamabad, Lahore & Karachi
