Physical Design Engineer - Full Chip Implementation
Etched, San Jose
What you will do
- Own full-chip clocking across all PVT corners and modes.
- Manage MMMC (Multi-Mode Multi-Corner) timing closure at the top level.
- Own timing constraints and hierarchical timing budgeting between top level and blocks.
- Drive functional and timing ECO closure and achieve final timing signoff for tapeout.
- Own end-to-end physical verification closure at block, sub-system, and full-chip level across DRC, LVS, ERC, antenna, density, fill, and top-level integration.
- Debug complex PV violations across layout, routing, macros, IP, power grid, rule decks, and tool or setup issues, and fix violations directly in layout using Innovus.
- Build a repeatable, tapeout-ready PV methodology with clean runs, waiver discipline, version control, triage, and final signoff reviews.
