Lead PDN/EMIR Engineer

Required Qualifications • B.Tech/M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or related field. • 8+ years of experience in Physical Design, Power Integrity, or Signoff. Key Responsibilities Technical Skills: • Own full-chip and subsystem-level PDN signoff for complex SoCs. • Define PDN signoff criteria across project milestones. • Drive power integrity closure for functional, DFT, LBIST, capture, and stress modes. • Lead package-aware IR/EM analysis and chip-package co-optimization. • Define and review power grid architecture, bump planning, power switch strategy, and decap methodology. • Drive Vmin, peak EM, dynamic IR, and thermal-aware analysis. Methodology & Innovation • Develop next-generation PDN signoff methodologies. • Automate PDN flows using TCL/Python/Shell. • Improve runtime, capacity, dashboarding, and regression infrastructure. • Collaborate with EDA vendors (Ansys/Cadence/Synopsys) for feature enhancements and tool debug. • Establish best practices and reusable signoff frameworks across projects. Cross-Functional Collaboration • Work closely with Physical Design teams to drive PDN-aware floorplanning, placement, routing, and ECO solutions. • Partner with DFT teams to optimize pattern power and capture-mode reliability. • Collaborate with Package and Thermal teams on package RLC optimization and thermal correlation. • Support silicon bring-up, debug, and correlation of pre-silicon versus post-silicon measurements. Project Execution • Provide technical risk assessment and mitigation plans. • Drive closure of critical PDN hotspots with minimal PPA impact. • Present signoff status to management and project stakeholders. • Ensure on-time delivery for tapeout milestones. • Lead reviews for high-risk blocks and top-level integrations. People Leadership • Mentor engineers and PDN owners across multiple projects. • Define training content and technical roadmaps for the team. • Lead technical reviews and establish signoff governance. • Influence organizational PDN strategy and future technology direction. #LI-DNI
