Senior Digital Engineer

What we’re looking for: We are seeking a highly skilled Design Engineer to join our Silicon Engineering team. This role involves driving the design, implementation, and optimization of cutting-edge SoCs through advanced physical design methodologies. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in synthesis, floorplanning, place-and-route, timing closure, power/performance optimization, and sign-off flows. Skills you’ll need: • Execute the end-to-end physical design flow for complex SoCs and IP blocks (from RTL handoff to GDSII). • Define and drive floorplanning, clock-tree synthesis (CTS), placement, routing, and timing closure strategies. • Own and optimize power, performance, and area (PPA) metrics for assigned designs. • Manage design constraints, synthesis strategies, and sign-off criteria (timing, IR drop, EM, DRC/LVS). • Collaborate with front-end RTL, DFT, verification, and packaging teams to ensure seamless integration. • Drive EDA tool flow automation and methodology enhancements for improved efficiency and scalability. • Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering technical growth and design excellence. • Work closely with foundries and vendors on process technology bring-up, PDK updates, and tape-out readiness. Education and/or Experience: • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or related field. • 4+ years of experience in ASIC physical design • Hands-on expertise in EDA tools: Synopsys (ICC2, Fusion Compiler, PrimeTime), • Cadence (Innovus, Tempus), or equivalent. • Strong background in timing analysis, low-power methodologies, and ECO flows. • Solid understanding of architecture-to-GDSII flows and sign-off requirements. • Experience with chip-level integration and hierarchical design methodologies. • Knowledge of low-power design techniques (UPF/CPF, power gating, DVFS). • Familiarity with DFT, STA, and physical verification methodologies. • Exposure to multi-clock, multi-voltage, and multi-domain designs • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills. Benefits & Perks: Not only will you be joining a highly skilled and tight-knit team where every engineer makes a significant impact on the product; we also strive for good work/life balance and to make our environment welcoming and fun. • Medical and dental insurance coverage including spouse and child(ren) • Bi yearly health screening and flu vaccination • Office location is above Tai Seng MRT station
