  • Communicate project status, challenges, and successes to senior management and stakeholders.
  • Working with vendors to make sure their requirements and qualities, track their delivery schedules.
  
  
• Tool and methodology Development :
  
  
  
  • Drive the evaluation, selection and deployment of EDA tools and methodologies for physical design.
  • Continuously improve physical design workflows and processes to enhance productivity and design quality.
  
  
• Quality Assurance :
  
  
  
  • Ensure all designs undergo rigorous quality checks, including foundries rule sets.
  • Lead design reviews and sign-off processes to ensure final designs are manufacturable and meet all specifications.
  
  
• Collaboration and Communication :
  
  
  
  • Work Closely with cross-functional teams, including front-end design, verification and product engineering to ensure seamless integration and successful product development.
  • Act as a liaison between the physical design team and other departments, ensuring clear communication and alignment on project goal.
  
  

Qualification :

• 10+ years of experience in physical design with at least 3 years in a leadership or management position.
• Proven track record of leading physical design teams through successful tape-outs.
• Experience with advanced technology nodes (e.g., 3nm or below) is highly required.
• Experience with low-power design techniques and methodologies.
• Deep knowledge of physical design tools (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens) and methodologies.
• Strong understanding of the entire physical design process.
• Strong knowledge of DFT methodologies including scan insertion, BIST, boundary scan and ATPG (Automatic test pattern generation).
• Familiar with post-silicon validation and tape-out process.
• Experience managing multi-site projects and working with global teams.
