Physical Design Manager Engineer
As a Physical Design Manager Engineer, you will serve as the technical reference point for the most complex digital blocks (high-speed, mixed-signal control, or automotive low-power).
You will operate at the intersection of logic and physics, ensuring that the functional design intent is preserved and optimized during physical implementation.
Key Responsibilities
Drive the entire implementation flow (Floorplanning, P&R;, Clock Tree Synthesis) with a "constraint-driven" approach.
Functional Context Analysis: Anticipate routing and timing bottlenecks.
Dynamic Constraint Management: Analyse, clean, and regenerate timing constraints at every stage (Pre-Placement, Placement, Pre-CTS, Post-CTS, Sign-off), ensuring they reflect both the physical reality of the silicon and the functional requirements (e.g., Multi-Cycle Paths, distinguishing real vs. spurious False Paths).
Manage complex timing closures (Multi-clock domains, asynchronous interfaces) using advanced techniques (DMSA, OCV/AOCV/POCV).
Drive ECO (Engineering Change Order) strategies not just at the gate level, but by proposing changes when the physical impact requires it.
Oversee Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity analysis.
Requirements (Must Have)
Experience: 10+ years in the semiconductor industry with a focus on Physical Design and Digital Implementation.
Constraint Mastery: Expert knowledge of the SDC format and the ability to write and debug complex constraints for multi-mode/multi-corner (MMMC) designs.
Timing Closure:



Solid experience in STA (PrimeTime/Tempus), CDC (Clock Domain Crossing) analysis, and managing hold/setup violations in advanced technology nodes or critical automotive contexts.
Scripting: Excellent automation skills (Tcl, Python, Perl) for report analysis and massive data flow management.
Preferred Qualifications (Nice to have)
Previous experience in a digital environment.
Background in Process Integration or knowledge of yield topics (Yield/DFM) and Failure Analysis.
Experience with Automotive chips (ISO *****) or Low Power design (UPF/CPF).
What Do We Offer?
Join a highly innovative microelectronics company working at the forefront of RISC-V and advanced SoC technologies.
Opportunity to play a key technical leadership role bridging industry and public research.
Collaboration with top-tier research institutions and industrial partners across Europe.
Flexible working conditions and hybrid work environment.
Competitive remuneration aligned with seniority and expertise.
Position based in Rome.
About the Team
We are looking for outstanding people willing to join our mission to change this industry and help to build a better world.
At Openchip & Software Technologies S.L., we believe a diverse and inclusive team is the key to groundbreaking ideas.
We foster a work environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential – regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
