ASIC Physical Design Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 6, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 5, 2026. NVIDIA scores A on the Alion truth index.
ASIC-PD team is hiring both junior and senior engineers, whose work scope is physical design from RTL to GSDII: design quality check, synthesis, formal check, partitioning, constraint (for both design and process), async check, timing analysis/fixing/signoff,also all related flow. Join us, you will work together with expertise in all these areas; you will not only work for physical application, but also drive physical friendly design with all related teams: ASIC/P&R/DFT/SI/ARCHetc.; you will work for the most advanced process/technology, the biggest chip in the world.
What you'll be doing:
STA for hierarchical design.
Constraints creation and validation, timing budget.
Timing closure for both partition and full chip level.
Special timing closure, such as io, test, clock etc.
Synthesis, Netlist quality check, Formal Verification.
Implement chip partition and floorplan.
Function eco creation.
Develop and enhance entire timing closure flow from frontend (pre-layout) to backend (post-layout).
Flow automation development, Methodology in any of above areas.
What we need to see:
MS in EE, CS or Microelectronics with 1+ year experience is preferred
