Lead and own the physical design flow from RTL - GDSII for complex blocks.
Drive floorplanning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing and signoff (timing, IR, EM, DRC/LVS)
Handle complex blocks including multiple blocks if required.
Interact with sub -system leads and full -chip owner to provide necessary feedback.
Analyze and optimize PPA (Power, Performance, Area) to meet design targets.
Collaborate with RTL, STA, power DFT and verification for design convergence.
Lead ECO cycles for timing, congestion and physical signoff closure.
Review and debug physical verification and timing issues.
Manage schedules, and risk tracking for PD deliverables.
Prepare and present project status, risk and mitigation plans to sub -system leads and customer.
Work effectively with large teams consisting of multiple vendors.
