About the role
Broadcom is seeking an experienced ASIC Implementation Engineer to drive physical design execution on high-complexity system-on-chip (SoC) architectures across advanced FinFET process nodes (e.g., 5nm, 3nm, 2nm). You will lead implementation disciplines from floorplanning through to clocking, power integrity, and final timing signoff.
What you'll do
- Drive block- and top-level implementation flows, including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and post-route optimization.
- Perform static timing analysis (STA), crosstalk analysis, and signal integrity signoff across all PVT corners and operating modes.
- Execute DRC, LVS, antenna, and ERC checks, resolving complex multi-patterning and design-rule violations.
- Leverage and benchmark industry-standard EDA tool suites (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens) to enhance flow automation, runtime efficiency, and PPA metrics.
- Partner with architecture, RTL, CAD, package engineering, customers, and foundry interface teams to resolve implementation bottlenecks.
What you'll need
- BS degree in Electrical Engineering with 13+ years of related experience, or MS in Electrical Engineering with 10+ years of related work experience.
- Experience with full-flow physical implementation including floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and post-route optimization.
- Hands-on experience with static timing analysis (STA), crosstalk analysis, and signal integrity signoff.
- Experience running physical verification checks including DRC, LVS, antenna, and ERC.
- Direct experience utilizing EDA tool suites from Synopsys, Cadence, or Siemens.
Skills: floorplanning, CTS, placement, routing, STA, DRC/LVS

How we counted: 753 open Physical Design (Physical Design) roles from 90 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 14 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Physical Implementation family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
