Senior Physical Design Engineer - Farnborough A leading international space technology organisation is continuing to expand its advanced ASIC capability and is seeking a Senior Physical Design Engineer to support the development of complex satellite SoCs. This opportunity sits within our client’s semiconductor division, focused on high-performance communication devices used in space and ground-based systems. The team works on technically demanding mixed-signal ASICs in advanced technology nodes, including devices designed for high-reliability environments. As a Senior Physical Design Engineer, you will contribute across the full physical implementation cycle, from RTL handoff through to tape-out and production. You will take ownership of block-level implementation while contributing to chip-level integration and sign-off activities. What you will be doing: • Driving physical implementation of complex SoCs, including integration of custom blocks and third-party IP, • Managing floorplanning, place & route and clock tree implementation strategies, • Leading block-level timing closure and supporting full-chip timing convergence, • Developing and refining implementation constraints in collaboration with RTL teams, • Supporting DFT insertion and ensuring smooth physical integration at chip level, • Running and analysing extraction, power and physical verification checks prior to sign-off, • Working closely with cross-functional engineering teams and external partners to optimise flow and delivery Skills and experience required: • Strong background as a Senior Physical Design Engineer within ASIC development, • Proven experience across advanced node physical design flows (28nm or below preferred), • Solid understanding of synthesis, floorplanning, P&R, CTS, STA, timing closure and physical sign-off, • Experience with industry-standard Cadence or Synopsys implementation toolchains, • Good knowledge of power planning and analysis in complex SoCs, • Scripting capability (Tcl, Python, Perl or similar) to support flow automation, • Confident communicator, comfortable interfacing with design, verification and third-party IP team This is a strong opportunity for an experienced Senior Physical Design Engineer looking to work on technically ambitious silicon programmes within a globally recognised space-focused organisation.
