Responsibilities
- Own physical implementation using Fusion Compiler or ICC2, from floorplanning through routing and signoff closure
- Debug complex P&R issues including timing, congestion, IR drop, and physical verification failures across hierarchical designs
- Guide customer design and CAD teams on tool usage, methodology, and design closure as a trusted technical advisor
- Develop physical design flows and automation scripts in TCL, PERL, or Python to improve efficiency
- Work with Synopsys BU and Sales teams to deploy tool and IP solutions that solve real customer problems
- Mentor junior engineers on P&R fundamentals, debugging techniques, and tool best practices

- Solid debugging skills to trace root causes across timing, power, signal integrity, and DRC/LVS domains
- Effective English communication skills for customer-facing and cross-functional work
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with signoff tools like PrimeTime, Redhawk, StarRC, or ICV is a plus
- Explain complex timing paths or IR drop issues to customers in ways that clarify tradeoffs, not just symptoms
- Work independently on ambiguous problems but escalate before issues become crises
- Treat mentorship as part of the job and genuinely want junior engineers to succeed
- Stay organized across multiple projects without letting details slip when priorities shift
- Read release notes, try new features, and give real feedback instead of just complaining
