This role requires a strong technical background in physical design, a deep understanding of semiconductor processes, and exceptional project management skills. You will oversee teams engaged in physical design, synthesis, DFT, place and route, power integrity, and other back-end aspects to ensure the successful realization of semiconductor designs. Additionally, you will oversee product support activities for both Pre-production and Post-production stages, ensuring the successful initiation, development, and sustainment of semiconductor designs. Key Responsibilities: Technical Leadership: • Own synthesis, SDC constraint development, and formal verification • Drive place & route (P&R) including floor planning, CTS, and timing closure • Optimize for power, performance, and area (PPA); manage power distribution and multi-voltage design • Lead STA across corners/modes and support technology node migration • Integrate and verify SCAN/MBIST, define test specifications, and debug test coverage issues • Perform DFM, DRC, and ESD checks to ensure manufacturability • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Frontend, Analog) • Document design flow, participate in design reviews, and mentor junior team members • Product Support and RMA support Required Skills & Experience: • Min 8+ years of strong experience in backend flows for MCU or low-power SoC designs • Ability to lead the DFT teams, Physical and formal Verification Teams • Exposure to frontend and Analog processes • Ability to collaborate effectively with frontend and analog teams • Experience in Product Support for both Pre and Post Production Stages, Support for RMA teams Preferred Skills and Experience: • Min 1+ years of Project Management (Waterfall and Agile Hybrid Methodology) • Continuous Improvement • Knowledge of industry standards and best practices in semiconductor front-end design Note: This posting is a verbatim duplicate of Job 5 in this sheet — identical Job Overview, Key Responsibilities, and Required/Preferred Skills text, both recruited by Tekskills. Here, however, the displayed company is "Leading Client" rather than Tekskills itself, meaning the real end client is left undisclosed on this copy of the listing. The two copies also disagree on the advertised experience band (15-20 years here vs. 10-20 years on Job 5) and on the Role tag (Technical Lead here vs. Other on Job 5) despite being the same description text. The "About company" field here is just the bare name "Tekskills India Private Limited" with a placeholder address (a single period).
