Description

Sr. Engineer, ASIC Physical Design Location: Bangalore (on-site, flexible hours) Ayar Labs is shattering AI data bottlenecks by moving data at the speed of light. As pioneers of co-packaged optics (CPO), we are using light instead of electricity to move data faster, further, and with a fraction of the energy needed to fuel the explosive growth of AI models. Backed by industry giants like NVIDIA, AMD and Intel and manufactured in partnership with the world’s leading semiconductor ecosystem, Ayar Labs’ co-packaged optics solution is key to unleashing next-generation AI scale-up architectures. The ASIC Physical Design Engineer is responsible for the physical design and integration of complex SoCs with custom circuits, digital circuits, and photonics components as part of a high-speed electro-optical engine. The position focuses on the synthesis, place and route, timing closure, and physical verification steps of the design implementation process. This PD Engineer will work on the implementation of complex blocks integrating both high-speed digital and custom blocks in leading edge process nodes. Key Responsibilities: * Physical design of blocks containing digital and custom analog / mixed-signal blocks * Contribute to design for test (DFT) methodologies * Contribute to automated design methodologies for ASIC physical design * Perform ASIC physical design (synthesis, place-and-route), static timing analysis (STA), and physical verification (DRC/LVS) of mixed-signal SoCs * Coordinate and drive activities across multiple designers * Contribute across a broad range of CAD methodologies to improve design implementation flows Basic Qualifications: * BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields * 2+ years of work experience in ASIC physical design * History of leading successful block implementations integrating custom IP in leading edge process nodes * Proficient in Verilog RTL * Mastery of ASIC synthesis (RTL Compiler, Genus, Design Compiler), place-and-route (Encounter, Innovus, ICC), and physical verification (DRC, LVS) tools and flows * Mastery of timing constraints and deep understanding of static timing analysis * Proficient in clock tree synthesis methodologies and customization * Proficient in designing DFT methodologies and flows such as scan insertion, BIST, ATPG, etc. * Proficient in ASIC signoff methodologies, checklists, and requirements * Proficient in scripting or programming languages Preferred Qualifications: * Working knowledge of the Cadence Virtuoso design environment for manual schematic entry and layout * Programming experience in Python * Experience with 3DIC implementation methodologies and custom tool flows * Knowledge of high-speed SerDes or SerDes components * Experience working in conjunction with external ASIC services providers * Performed silicon debug and triage of physical design-related issues NOTE TO RECRUITERS: Principals only. We are not accepting resumes from recruiters for this position. Remuneration for recruiting activities is only applicable subject to a signed and executed agreement between the parties. Please don’t send candidates to Ayar Labs, and do not contact our managers.
