Overview In this role, you will implement physical design for Optical Network ASICs across cutting-edge nodes, focusing on power, performance, and area. You will work within a hardware/RTL team to translate designs into silicon and optimize flows for submicron processes. You’ll tackle floorplanning, placement, routing, and timing closure, shaping multi-project IP and design methodologies. The opportunity centers on delivering best-in-class silicon while learning the latest nodes and tools. You will contribute to a mission-driven environment that values automation and rigorous verification.
