Sr. Physical Design Flow & Methodology Engineer
Lightmatter, Boston, MA
What you will do
- Develop, maintain and extend our physical design flows from synthesis through signoff (place-and-route, CTS, STA, power integrity, DRC/LVS), mostly in Python and TCL.
- Use AI and LLM-based tools to automate flow tasks such as report triage, debug, constraint checking, DRC/LVS analysis, run monitoring and QoR prediction.
- Research and prototype new flow capabilities, EDA tool features and methodologies, then turn the successful ones into production flows.
- Build tools for regression testing, QoR tracking and dashboards so flow changes are measurable and safe.
- Support the implementation teams by debugging flow problems, reproducing tool issues and working with EDA vendors on fixes.
