hirify.global designs and manufactures silicon products and develops neuromorphic computing technologies for physical AI systems.

What you will do

• Engineer physical integration solutions across chiplet and advanced packaging technologies.
• Architect full-chip floorplans and support partition-level floorplans, including macro and pin placement and keep-outs.
• Define timing constraints with RTL designers and run synthesis and place-and-route trials.
• Drive block- and chip-level closure by resolving timing, EM/IR, LVS, and DRC violations.
• Run back-annotated VCS and SDF simulations and provide design feedback to meet power and performance targets.
• Develop scripts and tool flows for low-power, high-performance physical design.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree with 6+ years or master’s degree with 4+ years of hands-on physical design experience and multiple silicon tape-outs.
• 6+ years of experience with floorplanning, timing and power constraints, synthesis, and place and route.
• 6+ years of experience with scripting languages such as Perl, TCL, or Python.
• 4+ years of experience debugging FEV and RV reports and planning ECOs.
• 2+ years of experience with chiplet integration or advanced packaging.
• 1+ year of experience using AI tools for tool-flow setup, debugging, and productivity improvement.

Nice to have
