Senior / Lead Physical Design Engineer
Core
Lead backend implementation, signoff quality, and methodology development for ASIC programs from RTL handoff through tapeout.
Role type
Senior/Lead Physical Design Engineer (ASIC)
Builds
ASIC chips for AI-powered digital infrastructure and Trusted Control/Compute Units (TCU)
Domain
Semiconductor / ASIC Physical Design
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> production ML models (Note: This is a hardware role, but the deliverable category in the prompt options is limited. The actual deliverable is physical chips. I will map 'physical/clinical work' as the closest fit for hardware manufacturing, or strictly follow the prompt's 'Deliverable' options. The prompt says 'one of: ...'. 'physical/clinical work' is the only one fitting hardware. However, the role is about designing the chip. Let's re-read the prompt options: 'production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work'. None fit perfectly. 'infrastructure' could refer to the silicon infrastructure. 'physical/clinical work' is for things like manufacturing or medical. I will select 'infrastructure' as it refers to the digital infrastructure hardware being built, or 'physical/clinical work' if interpreted as physical design. Given the context of 'physical design', 'physical/clinical work' is the literal match for 'physical'. But usually, this tag is for nurses/manufacturers. Let's look at the role: it builds the chip. The chip is the product. 'product features' is for software. 'infrastructure' is for cloud/ops. 'physical/clinical work' is the only one involving physical objects. I will use 'physical/clinical work' as the closest semantic match for hardware design/manufacturing context among the provided limited options, or perhaps 'infrastructure' if we consider the TCU as infrastructure. Actually, the prompt says 'Extract only facts...'. The role builds ASICs. The closest option is 'physical/clinical work' because it involves physical design and tapeout. Wait, the prompt options are fixed. I must choose one. 'physical/clinical work' is the best fit for 'Physical Design' involving 'tapeout' and 'GDS'.
