onsite
Senior Technical Architect - Physical Design - HCLTech
Solutions Architect
Lead end‑to‑end physical design for cutting‑edge nodes, driving floorplanning, power planning, CTS, routing, and signoff while ensuring timing closure, low‑power compliance, and rigorous verification across all corners.
About the role
Key Responsibilities
- Execute the full physical design flow from floorplanning to post‑route optimization, ensuring timing closure across all modes and corners.
- Develop and implement low‑power strategies, including Multi‑Vt, Multi‑voltage (UPF), power gating, and clock gating.
- Perform comprehensive physical verification and signoff: DRC, LVS, ERC, STA (Primetime), SI, Crosstalk, IR drop, and EM analysis.
- Collaborate closely with RTL, micro‑architecture, DFT, and test teams to resolve complex timing, congestion, power, and variability issues.
- Work on advanced technology nodes (7nm, 5nm, 3nm and below), integrating foundry and CAD team guidelines.
Requirements
- Extensive experience in physical design for advanced nodes, with a strong track record of achieving timing closure and signoff.
- Proficiency in floorplanning, power planning, CTS, routing, and advanced verification tools.
- Deep knowledge of low‑power design techniques and power integrity analysis.
- Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to debug complex design issues.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills for cross‑functional teamwork.
