Senior Physical Design Engineer

Company Description Insemi Technology Services Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2013, specializes in VLSI design services, embedded product development, and fostering collaboration between academia and industry. The company’s core focus since 2016 has been engineering design services in chip design and embedded domains, offering expertise across Foundation IP, ASIC design and verification, and CAD/PDK infrastructure. Insemi’s embedded systems team delivers end-to-end product development for IoT solutions, including PCB design, product analysis, and embedded software and app development. The organization promotes a culture of technical excellence, innovation, and continuous learning, supported by a dynamic and young leadership team.
Role Description The Senior Physical Design Engineer will work on complex ASIC and SoC projects, taking ownership of physical implementation from RTL to GDSII. Day-to-day responsibilities include floorplanning, power planning, place-and-route, timing closure, and integration with physical verification flows, collaborating closely with RTL, logic, and circuit design teams. The role involves analyzing design constraints, optimizing for power, performance, and area, performing ECOs, and driving sign-off across STA, DRC, LVS, and IR/EM checks. The engineer will mentor junior team members, contribute to methodology improvements, and support cross-functional reviews and tape-out activities. This is a full-time, on-site role based in Bengaluru South.
