About the Company A fast-growing deep-tech company is developing next-generation accelerated computing solutions for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI. The company designs a novel software-defined hardware architecture that enables significant performance, power, and scalability improvements for advanced compute platforms.
The organization values technical excellence, strong collaboration, and building technologies with real-world impact. The Role
We are looking for an experienced Physical Design team lead to lead and scale a physical design team responsible for complex, high-performance silicon. This role combines deep technical ownership with team leadership, and plays a key part in delivering cutting-edge compute platforms.
You will be responsible for driving the full physical design flow, mentoring engineers, and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to achieve optimal performance, power, and area (PPA). Responsibilities
Lead a physical design team across all stages of the physical design flow, including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, timing, and power optimization
Mentor and guide physical design engineers through block- and subsystem-level implementations
Drive technical direction and best practices for physical design methodologies and workflows
Collaborate closely with RTL, architecture, verification, and project management teams
Own timing analysis and closure, working with RTL teams to resolve timing violations
Ensure compliance with physical verification requirements, including DRC and LVS
Optimize designs to meet aggressive PPA targets and project milestones
Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes and execution quality
