JOB TITLE: Physical Design Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION: APPLE INC has the following available for Physical Design Engineer (REQ# 200641042) in Austin, Texas. Collaborate with design team to understand design specification and area requirement before starting the physical aspects including PnR. Understand the design data flow and pin placement and develop the feasible macro or hard Ip placement as needed. Conduct power grid planning to ensure a reliable and efficient power distribution at initial stage of design and understand the EM/IR violations and limits to avoid future challenges. Meet timing requirements by optimizing the design for critical paths and addressing setup and hold time violation. Understand the criticality and impact of timing constraints on design through discussions with the Static Timing Analysis (STA) team. Perform physical verification checks to ensure design adheres to design rules and guidelines. Address issues related to Design Rule checks (DRCs), layout vs schematic (LVS) and electrical rule checks (ERC) and bring up to PDV team if there are flow related issues. Understand the impact of the changing technology node on the design constraints and conducting multiple experiments to achieve PPA.
