We have the flexibility to manage our work and personal needs. We make bold moves, together, and are a force for good. If you are looking to stretch and grow your career our culture will embrace you. Open up opportunities with HPE.

Job Description:

Aruba is an HPE Company, and a leading provider of next-generation network access solutions for the mobile enterprise. Helping some of the largest companies in the world modernize their networks to meet the demands of a digital future, Aruba is redefining the “Intelligent Edge” – and creating new customer experiences across intelligent spaces and digital workspaces. Join us redefine what’s next for you.

Seeking a hands-on ASIC Physical Design Engineer with strong expertise in physical design implementation, flow development, methodology ownership, and scripting automation to enable robust and scalable ASIC delivery.

What you'll do:

  • Execute end-to-end physical design: floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and physical closure.
  • Contribute to and improve ASIC physical design flows and methodologies at block and full-chip levels.
  • Develop, maintain, and optimize PD automation using Tcl/Python to improve QoR, productivity, and turnaround time.
  • Support timing, congestion, and PPA optimization, and drive implementation issues to closure.
  • Work closely with STA, DFT, and sign-off teams to ensure smooth integration and tape-out readiness.

What you need to bring:

  • 4–6 years of hands-on experience in ASIC Physical Design implementation.
  • Strong knowledge of PD flows and methodologies using tools such as ICC2/Fusion Compiler/Innovus.
  • Solid understanding of timing concepts, CTS, ECOs, and physical closure.
  • Proficiency in Tcl and Python scripting for flow automation and data analysis is a must.
  • Ability to debug complex PD issues and contribute to continuous flow improvements.

Education:

B.Tech / M.Tech in Electronics, VLSI, or related fields.

Signal Electromigration (Signal EM): Violations, Examples, and Practical Fixes

  Hello Dear Readers,   Today in this post, I will provide some deep insight into the Signal Electromigration (Signal EM): Violations, Examples, and Practical Fixes. 1. Introduction: As technology nodes shrink into the deep‑submicron and nanometer regime (7nm, 5nm, 3nm and beyond), electromigration (EM) has become a first‑order reliability concern—not only for power/ground (PG) networks but also for signal nets. Signal EM failures are often underestimated because signal currents are transient and bidirectional. However, with higher switching activity, tighter metal pitches, thinner wires, and aggressive timing closure, signal EM can cause latent or early‑life failures if not addressed properly. This article explains: What Signal EM is and how it differs from PG EM Typical Signal EM violation scenarios Detailed, practical examples Root causes behind each violation Proven solutions and best practices to fix and prevent Signal EM issues 2. What is Signal Electromigration: El...

Exploring the Role of LEF Files in VLSI Chip Design: A Beginner's Guide

Hello Dear Readers,   Today in this post, I will provide some deep insight into the LEF file role during the VLSI Chip Design process. In VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) design, a LEF file is a file that contains information about the physical geometry of the standard cells used in a circuit. LEF stands for Library Exchange Format. A standard cell is a pre-designed logic cell that contains a specific function, such as a flip-flop or an AND gate. Standard cells are designed to be easily combinable and scalable to create more complex circuits. The physical geometry of each standard cell is defined in the LEF file. The LEF file contains information such as the width, height, and position of the pins and metal layers of each standard cell. It also contains information about the physical design rules that govern the placement of these cells on the chip. LEF files are important in VLSI design because they enable the interoperability of different design tools from different vend...

Power Analysis in the VLSI Chip Design

  Hello Dear Readers,   Today in this series of posts I will provide some deep insight into Power Analysis in the VLSI Chip Design. The power analysis flow calculates (estimates of) the active and static leakage power dissipation of the SoC design. This electrical analysis step utilizes the detailed extraction model of the block and global SoC layouts. The active power estimates depend on the availability of switching factors for all signals in the cell netlist. Representative simulation test cases are applied to the netlist model, and the signal value change data are recorded. The output data from the power analysis flow guide the following SoC tape out release assessments:  Total SoC power specification (average and standby leakage): The specification for SoC power is critical for package selection and is used by end customers for thermal analysis of the product enclosure. In addition to the package technology selection, the SoC power dissipation is used to ev...
