Why This Role Stands Out
This hybrid role offers an excellent opportunity to refine your skills in advanced SoC physical design and implementation using Synopsys Fusion Compiler, contributing to cutting-edge chip development. You'll thrive if you possess strong PnR experience, a solid understanding of STA and low-power design, and enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to achieve ambitious PPA targets. This is a fantastic chance to grow your career in a dynamic engineering environment.
