Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Physical Design Engineer to join our team at European Tech Recruit. As a key member of our innovation hub, you will work on high-speed, energy-efficient chip-to-chip link solutions.

Your primary focus will be on developing and validating timing constraints, conducting sign-off Static Timing Analysis (STA), and supporting timing closure at both block and full-chip levels.

Responsibilities:
  • Timing Constraint Development: Collaborate with the design team to review and define constraints, implement SDC constraints for STA, analyze timing violations, and resolve them with the frontend design and physical design (PD) teams.
  • STA Expertise: Perform STA for both block and chip levels, working closely with the design team to meet STA requirements and implement effective solutions.
  • Process Improvement: Contribute to the development of scripts, methodologies, and process improvements to enhance our digital physical design workflow.
  • Collaboration and Support: Work closely with the design team to gather and define SDC constraints, especially for top-level design, including DFT, and support IP and chip-level integration.
Requirements:
  • Strong Background in RTL-to-GDS Flow: Proficient in synthesis, place & route (P&R), logic equivalence checking (LEC), and STA.
  • Self-Driven and Team-Oriented: Strong sense of ownership, excellent communication skills, and ability to collaborate effectively with team members.
  • Scripting and Data Management: Experienced in scripting languages (shell, TCL, Python, make) and data management (revision control systems).
  • Experience and Skills: 10+ years of experience in the semiconductor industry, with at least 5 years in a technical digital physical design role (preferred). Skilled in developing reusable workflows and processes across projects.

The estimated salary for this position is £90,000 - £110,000 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications.
