Senior DTCO Engineer, CPU Physical Design

Responsibilities

• Evaluate advanced process technologies and help shape technology choices for next-generation CPUs.
• Run synthesis, place-and-route, and static timing analysis to assess how process features affect power, performance, and area.
• Work with foundry, IP, and hardware design teams during early technology development.
• Use early pathfinding blocks to identify implementation bottlenecks and project technology-node scaling.
• Evaluate competitive products and benchmarks to understand technology and design trade-offs.
• What we need to see
• Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of experience in physical design, DTCO or technology pathfinding.
• Strong background in advanced-node silicon design and physical-design methodology.
• Ability to analyze physical implementation constraints and develop technology solutions to improve PPA.
