Technical Lead - Back-end Physical Design (CDI)

Location: Paris or Caen (preference) or 100% remote within France

Salary: Package up to €110,000 Gross Per Annum + Company Benefits

Are you looking to be at the forefront of advanced IC design?

What about an opportunity to join a specialist in cutting-edge mixed-signal and SoC solutions?

A pioneering semiconductor company, at the forefront of advanced integrated circuit design, specializing in cutting-edge mixed-signal SoC solutions, is looking for a technical leader to play a key role in the definition, implementation, and supervision of state-of-the-art physical designs.

As a Technical Lead in Back-end Physical Design, you will play a crucial role in defining, implementing, and supervising the back-end design methodology and flow. Acting as the technical mentor and domain expert, you'll work closely with product teams and customers, ensuring the quality and integrity of designs through all stages of the development lifecycle.

You will be responsible for maintaining best practices in physical design, overseeing the delivery of very complex multi-hierarchy low-power ICs, and driving innovation within advanced technology nodes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the methodology and implementation of back-end physical design processes for digital and analog/mixed-signal SoCs
• Ensure seamless collaboration and hand-off between digital, front-end, and analog layout teams
• Drive technical reviews, provide mentorship, and ensure comprehensive documentation of deliverables
• Deliver full-chip and IP-level physical design including synthesis, floorplanning, place & route, timing analysis, and physical verification

Your background:

• Expert knowledge in physical design with proven tape-out experience
• Extensive understanding of RTL-to-GDSII flow and process nodes like FDSOI and FinFET
• Deep understanding of low-power design methodologies, e.g., Power Gating, Multi-Voltage domains, and UPF/CPF
• Strong background in logic synthesis, static timing analysis, floorplanning, power grid planning, and physical verification
• Advanced knowledge of Python/TCL or Perl for scripting
