The Role We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on SoC Floorplan Lead to own the physical foundation of our next-generation AI and Data Center SoCs. In this critical role, you will be the bridge between architecture, logic design, and physical design. You will work hand-in-hand with Chip Architects and RTL Leads to influence micro-architecture and ensure the physical implementation achieves best-in-class Power, Performance, and Area (PPA). If you love solving complex spatial puzzles on advanced technology nodes, integrating sensitive analog components, and driving execution in a high-energy start-up environment, this is the role for you. Key Responsibilities Top-Level Floorplanning: Own the SoC-level floorplan from concept to tape-out for high-performance, large-scale AI/Data Center chips on advanced process nodes (e.g., 5nm, 3nm or below). Architecture & RTL Collaboration: Partner closely with Architecture and RTL teams to provide early physical feasibility feedback. Drive block partitioning, shape optimization, and data-flow planning to achieve the absolute best PPA. Bump & Package Co-Design: Lead bump planning and IO ring definition. Work with packaging teams on flip-chip/advanced packaging constraints, ensuring optimal signal escape and power delivery. Custom & Analog Routing: Manage the placement and custom routing strategies for critical Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) IPs, high-speed SerDes (PCIe, Ethernet, Memory interfaces), PLLs, and sensitive clock distributions. Power Delivery Network (PDN): Design and analyze the top-level power grid, ensuring robust power delivery for high-current AI workloads while minimizing IR drop. Pin Assignment & Feedthroughs: Manage macro placement, block-level pin assignments, and top-level feedthrough planning to optimize global timing and routing congestion. Methodology Development: Build and maintain scalable Floorplanning workflows and
