Physical Design Timing Engineer

About the role

Own Full chip and Block timing methodologies and execution to-signoff of our AI accelerator silicon. Work with chip-design and software teams driving DensityAI's AI accelerator program from first silicon through scale-out.

What you'll do

• Own Full chip and Block timing methodologies and execution to-signoff of our AI accelerator silicon.
• Use and develop AI-assisted tool flows to accelerate physical design timing convergence and signoff timelines.

What we're looking for

• Exceptional abilities across the full physical design flow (synthesis, place & route, CTS, signoff) with emphasis on timing flows and methodologies
• 10+ years of experience on very high performance designs at advanced technology nodes (7nm or better) and 2.5D/3D timing flows
• Hands-on with industry-standard PD tools (Cadence Innovus, Synopsys Fusion Compiler, or equivalent) and signoff (PrimeTime, Tempus, or equivalent)
• Demonstrated ability to work closely with architects, RTL designers, EDA vendors, and foundries to design and sign off complex chips
• Post silicon characterization and process targeting experience is highly desirable
• (Optional) Multi-die packaging (CoWoS, 2.5D / 3D), thermal / IR / EM signoff, signal integrity, or DFT-aware physical design
