CPU Physical Design Lead Location: Bengaluru Experience: 6–10 Years Role Overview We are seeking a CPU Physical Design Lead to drive implementation and signoff of high-performance CPU cores/subsystems on advanced technology nodes. You will own backend execution from floorplan through tapeout, working closely with architecture, RTL, STA, DFT, and methodology teams to achieve aggressive PPA targets. Responsibilities Lead block/subsystem-level physical design for high-frequency CPU designs. Own end-to-end implementation: floorplanning, power planning, placement, CTS, routing, STA closure, and physical signoff. Drive timing, power, congestion, IR/EM, and noise convergence across multiple modes/corners. Develop scalable PD methodologies and automation for advanced-node implementation. Execute ECO closure and tapeout readiness with strong focus on QoR. Collaborate cross-functionally with RTL, DFT, power, and integration teams to resolve design bottlenecks.
