Job Summary:

We are looking for a Staff Physical Digital Design Engineer to join our team of Design Engineers in one of our offices in Europe. This role will be
- site; no remote option is available.

The candidate will be responsible for all aspects of physical design and implementation. In this role, you will participate in the efforts of establishing physical design methodologies and flow automation.

The Physical Design Engineer will be part of the design development team. The candidate will work on the digital design implementation and verification of
- signal ICs utilizing standard EDA tools. Products to be designed/verified include power management and
- signal functions.

MPS products include: switching regulators, sensors, motor control, display drivers, audio amplifiers, and power management ICs for
- growing portable and
- portable markets such as broadband modems, notebooks, cell phones, telecom, fiber optics, digital cameras, automobiles, and network equipment.

Essential Functions:

• Responsible for physical design, development, and verification of digital/mixed-signal ICs.
• Chip and block floorplan/implementation, power/clock distribution, chip assembly, P&R, STA, and LVS/DRC to closure.
• Work closely with the digital/analog design team for physical implementation and custom analog blocks/interfaces/IPs.
• Help build an automated environment for RTL-to-PNR using
  - level languages and Dev
  Ops-like services.

Qualifications:

• Requires an advanced degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science or equivalent.
• 7+ years (preferred) of Physical Digital Design experience.
• 2+ years (preferred) ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
