If you already have a Candidate Account, please Sign-In before you apply.\nJob Description:\nRole Overview\nAs a Lead Physical Design Engineer, you will drive physical design implementation for complex SoC architectures on 5nm and advanced sub-5nm technology nodes. This role requires an exceptional balance of hands-on technical execution and strategic engineering leadership.\nYou will own the development and implementation of P&R flows, physical verification, and timing closure, while actively driving methodology improvements and mentoring engineers across different sites and time zones to deliver high-quality silicon.\nWhat You'll Do\nSoC Integration & Technical Execution\nDrive top-down/bottom-up physical design integration for complex SoC architectures on 5nm and lower nodes.\nAdapt quickly to internal P&R methodologies and find opportunities to build industry best practices into existing flows.\nExecute the full backend flow for block and top, from floorplanning, partitioning, and placement through CTS, routing, and extraction.\nOwn timing and functional ECOs, working collaboratively with signoff teams to push designs toward final closure.\nLead and mentor a small physical design team, driving block-level and top-level SoC implementation while keeping the team aligned.\nAutomation, Leadership & Strategy\nBuild and scale automation flows from scratch as needed, and optimize existing scripts to maximize design re-use.\nLead by example, setting clear execution goals, identifying technical bottlenecks early, and establishing engineering benchmarks for the team.\nDrive tangible improvements in turnaround time, while elevating overall layout and design quality.\nWhat You'll Bring\nExperience & Core Expertise\n15+ years of hands-on experience in physical design and backend digital flows from RTL synthesis down to final GDSII stream-out.\nHigh proficiency in timing and physical constraints, ensuring clean translation of design intent into physical layout.\nExpertise across key design stages at the SoC TOP level, with hands-on proficiency handling EDA tools for floor-planning, partitioning, placement, CTS, routing and full-chip Sign-off Physical Verification (DRC/LVS).\nTools & Automation Mastery\nDeep technical expertise in advanced backend EDA toolsets, specifically across Cadence, Synopsys, and Siemens (including Genus, Innovus, Quantus, Tempus, DC, Star-RCXT, PT, PrimeRail, Voltus, and Redhawk).\nStrong programming and scripting capabilities, with high proficiency in Tcl and Perl to develop robust, production-grade automation.\nSoft Skills & Collaboration\nExcellent analytical and problem-solving skills to independently debug complex physical and timing closure issues.\nA proven track record of multi-functional collaboration, with the ability to smoothly align with teams across different geographic sites and time zones.\nBroadcom is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
