Staff Sr Staff Engineer, Physical Design

Renesas has a growing presence in India with HC approaching 1000 and significant presence with active government and university collaboration as well as OSAT footprint (JV with CG India). With the growing importance of India as a market (Growing semiconductor market and government goals / mandates of localization needs) and talent hub our divisions (India for India) mission is to grow India market. We aspire to create products (SoCs Software Power and Analog chips etc) which serve needs for local market. Renesas is a leading electronics supplier globally and this is a unique opportunity to directly influence the future products which will be offered to our customers in a new fast growing and large Indian market with specific needs and applications.

Renesas India is seeking an experienced Staff / Senior Staff Physical Design Engineer to lead subsystem- and block-level physical implementation and closure for complex hierarchical SoCs at advanced technology nodes. This role requires deep expertise in timing congestion power integrity and clocking methodologies along with strong cross-functional collaboration skills. While this role does not own SoC-level physical design it plays a critical role in aligning subsystem implementation with overarching SoC strategies.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead block- and subsystem-level physical design closure including timing closure congestion mitigation power integrity and overall physical implementation quality
• Collaborate closely with SoC-level physical design teams to align on clocking strategies floorplanning intent and integration requirements without direct ownership of SoC-level execution
• Apply deep understanding of clocking methodologies to ensure subsystem-level clock domains integrate cleanly into the broader SoC clock architecture
• Develop refine and scale subsystem closure methodologies flows and automation improving predictability quality and execution efficiency
• Mentor and guide physical design engineers within subsystem teams promoting best practices technical rigor and methodology adoption
• Work cross-functionally with RTL design STA power verification and backend teams to ensure smooth handoffs and robust closure
• Proactively identify assess and mitigate physical design risks coordinating closely with SoC teams to manage impacts and drive solutions

Qualifications :

• 7 years of experience in physical design with a strong focus on subsystem-level closure for complex hierarchical SoCs
• Strong expertise in:
  • Timing closure and constraint management
  • Congestion analysis and resolution
  • Power integrity and power-aware physical implementation
  • Block and subsystem-level physical design flows
• Solid understanding of SoC-level floorplanning and clocking methodologies including:
  • Clock domain partitioning
  • Clock tree architecture
  • Skew management
  • Clock gating
    (Candidate is expected to collaborate effectively at the SoC level not lead these activities.)
• Hands-on experience with industry-standard tools such as:
  • Synopsys ICC2 Fusion Compiler PrimeTime
  • Cadence Innovus Tempus Certus
  • Signoff and analysis platforms
• Proficiency in scripting and automation using Tcl Python and/or Perl
• Deep knowledge of end-to-end SoC design flows with strong collaboration experience across timing power clocking verification and backend teams
• Strong understanding of low-power design techniques and power-aware implementation methodologies

Education

• or in Electronics and Communication Electrical Engineering Computer Science or a related field
