We are seeking a Senior/Staff Physical Design Engineer with deep expertise in top-level clock architecture and CTS implementation for advanced-node SoCs (5nm / 3nm / 2nm).The ideal candidate will have strong experience designing large-scale clock distribution networks including H-Tree, Mesh, and Hybrid architectures while driving ultra-low skew clock signoff. You will collaborate with Physical Design, STA, RTL, and Power teams to ensure robust clock quality and tapeout readiness.
Key Responsibilities: Design and optimize top-level clock distribution architectures. Implement and analyze:
  • H-TreeClock MeshHybrid Clock Structures
  • Drive CTS for low skew and balanced latency.
  • Optimize clock power using advanced gating techniques.
  • Validate clock signal integrity and duty cycle distortion (DCD).Debug large-scale clocking issues across full-chip integration.
  • Collaborate with STA and PD teams for clock-timing convergence.
  • Develop scalable methodologies for clock signoff closure.
  • Ensure robust clock quality at advanced nodes and large die scale.
