You make an approved design manufacturable and reliable at its intended operating limits, connecting logical intent to physical implementation. You are also the person who knows what a late architectural change really costs, and says so early enough to matter.
Open for applications. Starts at: Custom silicon gate.
We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.
Where
In the office together five days a week, in one of our garages, and remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time. We hire across the United States 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳 and the UAE 🇦🇪.
The work
Own floorplanning, placement, routing, clock trees, timing closure and power-integrity coordination. Work with foundry and implementation partners on design rules and signoff. Report performance, power and area together with corner assumptions and remaining risks.
The milestone
In your first 90 days after program activation, deliver an implementation feasibility study and a credible closure plan for the selected block.
Required
Nice to have
Evidence
Bring hands-on physical design and static-timing analysis experience. Understand process-voltage-temperature corners, signal integrity and the cost of late architectural changes.
Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.
The exercise
Explain a timing failure that cannot be solved by simply increasing cell size, and compare the available architectural fixes.
The package
Indicative pay ranges by market and level are on the compensation page. Plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.
Apply
One short form. A person reads every application and you hear back either way. You will get your own link to check where things stand, and you can withdraw or delete your application from it at any time, without an account.
