Our requirements

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years (Mid-level) or 8+ years (Senior-level) of hands-on experience in ASIC back-end / physical design.
  • Experience with place-and-route tools (e.g. Innovus, IC Compiler II / Fusion Compiler).
  • Strong static timing analysis skills and signoff experience (e.g. PrimeTime, Tempus).
  • Experience with physical verification tools (e.g. Calibre, IC Validator, Pegasus) for DRC/LVS.
  • Proficiency in floorplanning, clock tree synthesis, power planning, and routing.
  • Knowledge of low-power implementation and power intent (UPF/CPF).
  • Understanding of the full ASIC design flow and front-end / back-end interaction.
  • Familiarity with high-speed interfaces and protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, and AXI.
  • Ability to work independently or strong cooperation skills to work within a cross-functional team.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking skills.
  • EU citizenship.
  • Candidates must be eligible for employment under a Polish employment contract (UoP).

Optional

  • Hands-on experience with the GlobalFoundries 22FDX / FD-SOI process technology.
  • Experience with Adaptive Body Bias (ABB) techniques.
  • Proven track record in low-power optimization.
  • Experience with True Random Number Generators (TRNG) or Physically Unclonable Functions (PUF).
  • Experience with side-channel attacks and countermeasures.
  • EU/NATO security clearance.

Your responsibilities

  • Driving the full physical implementation flow - floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), and routing — for quantum-resistant cryptographic processors.
  • Performing timing closure and static timing analysis (STA) signoff across multiple corners and modes (setup/hold).
  • Power planning and analysis, including IR-drop and electromigration (EM) checks.
  • Implementing low-power architectures: power domains, level shifters, isolation cells, and the body-bias distribution network required for Adaptive Body Bias (ABB) on GF 22FDX FD-SOI.
  • Handling synthesis-to-layout handoff, ECOs, and tapeout preparation in cooperation with the foundry (GlobalFoundries).
  • Participation in certification and technical documentation development.
