In short
Synopsys is hiring a SIC Physical Design Manager in Da Nang, Vietnam, to lead a global team responsible for high-speed interconnect chips. This role requires over 10 years of physical design experience, expertise in advanced nodes (7nm, 5nm, 3nm), and proficiency with Synopsys tools like ICC2 and PrimeTime. The manager will drive floorplanning, timing closure, and team development to deliver cutting-edge AI silicon.
Responsibilities
- Lead the complete physical design flow for high-speed die-to-die interconnect chips operating at 2 GHz and above, from RTL handoff through tape-out
- Drive floorplanning, power planning, clock tree synthesis, place-and-route, and physical verification on advanced nodes including 7nm, 5nm, and 3nm
- Own timing closure across all corners and modes, working with front-end teams to resolve critical paths and ensure SI/PI integrity
- Build, manage, and mentor a global physical design team, setting technical direction and developing engineers at multiple levels
- Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, and package teams to align physical implementation with product requirements and manage milestones
- Champion automation and methodology improvements using Tcl, Python, and Perl scripts that increase team productivity and design quality
Requirements
- 10+ years of hands-on experience in physical design with deep expertise in high-frequency chip implementation and timing closure
- Proven track record leading physical design on advanced process nodes including 7nm, 5nm, or 3nm with multiple successful tape-outs
- Expert-level proficiency with Synopsys physical design tools including ICC2, Fusion Compiler, PrimeTime, StarRC, and RedHawk
- Strong scripting and automation skills in Tcl, Python, and Perl for flow development
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, PhD is a strong plus
- Experience managing and mentoring engineering teams with a history of developing talent
Desired Qualifications
- You can spot the physical constraint that will break the schedule in three weeks and explain the fix to both the engineer and the program manager in terms each needs to hear
- You build teams by teaching people how to think through a problem, not just how to run a tool
- You manage multiple tape-outs across geographies without losing track of critical milestones or creating process overhead that slows the team down
- When a design is stuck, you make a call with the information you have and move forward with a plan the team can execute
Benefits
- Competitive salaries
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans that work for you and your family
- In addition to company holidays, we have ETO and FTO Programs
