Responsibilities

• Lead the physical design implementation and strategy for high-performance silicon, with leadership scope ranging from critical, high-complexity subchips to overarching top-level execution based on project phases and team needs.
• Manage the full design cycle from RTL to GDSII, including critical sign-off closures for timing, electrical performance, and power integrity.
• Partner with internal teams (RTL, DFT, methodology, packaging) to achieve optimal power, performance, and area (PPA) results, including conducting feasibility studies for new microarchitectures and optimizing RTL runs.
• Collaborate with external EDA and IP vendors to improve flows and methodologies, while contributing to internal processes to ensure efficient and predictable execution.
• Drive execution schedules, resource planning, and risk mitigation for your area of ownership, scaling your leadership to support overall project-wide milestones.
