Job Description:
Technical Lead for Physical Designs
Are you a versatile, senior engineer capable of leading external and internal cross-functional teams? Do your colleagues recognize you as a resident expert in areas such as physical design, STA, DFT, and packaging? Have you taped out so many chips that you can identify potential design problems hidden in EDA reports, advise design teams on how to fix them, and avoid them in the future, then publish an application brief about it? If this is your engineering profile and you are looking for a challenge, then we have one for you.
Broadcom develops chips for a wide range of products that keep the globe connected. Our ASIC products division is looking for senior, physical design engineering veterans to guide teams designing some of the industry's most advanced chips in areas such as AI, ML, HPC and networking.
