**Job Overview**:
We are the APD team, part of the Arm Physical Design Group. This diverse, engineering-centric group invents, defines, and develop innovative physical implementation methods for CPU/GPU class designs using optimized physical IP. We pursue next-generation Arm CPUs and GPUs, inventing new concepts that will power billions of devices worldwide. We are looking for another passionate physical implementation engineer to join this great team.

**Responsibilities**:
Part of your responsibility will be optimizing Arm core physical implementations, suggesting new implementation techniques, and working with EDA companies and foundries. You will get an outstanding opportunity to develop improved synthesis, place, and efficient route technics, and analyse and detail the results. You will also support key partners to replicate the results. This role will give you the opportunity to explore sophisticated design methods and develop ways to use those technologies’ strengths and mitigate their weaknesses

Are you a forward-thinking, passionate engineer motivated by the challenge of working on this ground-breaking technology? If so, we look forward to learning more about you:

- In this role, you will build implementations of Arm CPU/GPU class designs using PDG’s optimized physical IP
- You will work with multiple EDA vendors to enable innovative Arm features and enable the latest technology nodes
- You will lead technical direction and methodology alignment between team
- You will be interacting with internal and external teams to provide feedback and help them to complete the product tape-out cycle from RTL to GDSII

**Required Skills and Experience**:

- BE/BTECH/MTECH with proven experience in any domain-related to Hardware engineering Physical Design
- Values communication is a key medium to nurture learning to build trust with others and solves complex problems with dependencies
- Deep understanding of the concepts related to synthesis, place & route, CTS, timing convergence, IR/EM checks and signoff DRC/LVS closure
- High-level know-how related to foundation IPs like standard cells and memories
- Good automation skills in PERL, TCL and EDA tool-specific scripting

**“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience**:

- Any implementation experience within the field of CPU/GPU IP designs

**In Return**:
This position is a rare opportunity for you as a Physical Implementation professional to work with our successful implementation team. You will discover a wide variety of leading-edge foundries and work on different types of Arm IPs.

We are investing heavily in growing our Sophia based hub to own and deliver the next-generation Arm CPUs and GPUs and inventing new concepts to an entirely new market
