Staff Engineer - Physical Design

Scope

Ambiq is looking for a Physical Design Staff Engineer to help bring our advanced SoC designs from netlist to GDS. In this role, you will lead top‑level physical implementation and help deliver high‑quality silicon that meets challenging performance, power, and area targets. You will work closely with cross‑functional teams, including Middle End, DFT, Front End, ARC, and Package teams, to build efficient, manufacturable physical layouts for multi‑power‑domain designs. This role is well suited for someone who is technically strong, collaborative, self‑driven, and excited to work on advanced process technologies and low‑power semiconductor products.

Responsibilities

• Lead the physical design flow from netlist to GDS, including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, physical verification, and DFM.
• Drive timing closure, IR drop and EM closure, signal integrity analysis, and layout violation resolution.
