Senior Digital Design Engineer (Physical Design)

About the role

Analog Devices is seeking a highly qualified Physical Design Engineer to drive and support physical design projects using world-class EDA tools. You will own the full-cycle RTL-to-GDSII implementation across complex mixed-signal and digital designs, and also contribute to workflow automation, evaluate emerging EDA tools and drive methodology enhancements.

Key responsibilities

• Own the full RTL-to-GDSII flow: synthesis, linting, full-chip/hierarchical floorplanning, place-and-route, clock tree synthesis, and timing/SI/power closure.
• Generate and execute functional and timing Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) late in the design cycle.
• Perform sign-off analysis: logical equivalence checking, parasitic extraction, static timing analysis and power/EM/IR-drop analysis.
• Lead physical design verification to deliver DRC/LVS/ERC error-free layouts.
• Execute UPF-driven low-power designs, perform in-rush current analysis and deliver low-power verification.
• Develop and maintain TCL, Perl and Shell scripts to automate design pipelines, evaluate emerging EDA tools and integrate AI methodologies to speed up the design cycle.

Required profile

• Master's or bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics or Computer Engineering.
• 7+ years of production-level physical design implementation (RTL2GDSII) on complex tape-outs using industry-leading EDA tools.
• Proficiency in Python, TCL, Perl and Shell scripting for automation.
• Good knowledge of DFT concepts.
• Willingness to travel about 10% of the time; shift type is first shift/days.

Required skills

• Advanced synthesis, CDC, RDC, linting, P&R, LEC, timing, SI and power closure flows.
• Late-stage functional and timing ECO implementation.
• UPF-driven low-power design and verification.
• Scripting (Python, TCL, Perl, Shell) and familiarity with AI methodologies in design automation.
