Leadership:

• Lead and manage a team of physical design engineers, fostering a collaborative and high-performing work environment
• Delegate tasks, provide technical guidance, and mentor junior engineers to ensure their professional development
• Motivate and inspire the team to achieve project goals and deadlines
• Foster a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing within the physical design group

Physical Design Expertise:

• Define and implement the overall physical design strategy for assigned projects, considering factors like performance, power, and area
• Perform floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), and routing for complex digital circuits
• Ensure adherence to design rules and manufacturability guidelines
• Utilize physical design tools and methodologies (place and route tools, static timing analysis tools) to achieve timing closure and optimal physical design
• Collaborate with design, verification, and layout teams to ensure seamless integration throughout the design flow
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical leadership on physical design aspects

Project Management:

• Manage physical design project schedules and budgets, ensuring timely completion within resource constraints
• Track project progress, identify potential risks, and implement mitigation strategies
• Communicate project status and challenges effectively to stakeholders (engineering leadership, product management)
