Silicon Physical Design CAD Engineer

Microsoft is a global technology company with a broad portfolio that includes software, cloud services, and hardware development. In its Bangalore office, the Silicon Physical Design CAD Engineer role focuses on the physical implementation of silicon chips. The day‑to‑day work involves using electronic design automation (EDA) tools to create and optimize chip layouts, perform floorplanning, placement, routing, and conduct design rule checks and timing analysis. The engineer will collaborate closely with circuit designers and verification teams to ensure that the physical design meets performance, power, and area targets, and will contribute to documentation and sign‑off activities. The position suits candidates with a strong background in VLSI or ASIC physical design, familiar with industry‑standard CAD tools such as Cadence or Synopsys, and comfortable interpreting design specifications and constraints. A degree in Electrical, Computer, or related engineering and hands‑on experience in silicon design flows are essential. The role offers an opportunity to work on cutting‑edge silicon projects within a large, multidisciplinary engineering environment.
