Physical Design Engineer - Reading or Cambridge
This is an exciting opportunity to join a small advanced R&D team that is looking to expand. They are looking for a Physical Design Engineer to work on next-generation high-speed circuit and communications technology.
This is an opportunity to work on advanced semiconductor technology within a highly technical R&D environment, where Physical Design is involved in taking new architectures from development through towards production silicon.
The role would suit a Physical Design Engineer who enjoys working across the full implementation flow and wants exposure to challenging designs at advanced process nodes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What makes the role interesting:
- Work on advanced semiconductor designs using modern process technologies
- Opportunity to contribute to new architectures rather than simply implementing established designs
- Full RTL to GDS experience across synthesis, place & route and signoff
- Small, technically focused R&D environment with significant scope to influence methodologies and implementation
- Research and development work has a clear route towards future production silicon
The ideal Physical Design Engineer will have:
- Strong experience across the digital Physical Design flow from RTL through to GDS
- Experience working on advanced process nodes, ideally 7nm or below
- Good understanding of modern implementation and signoff methodologies
- Experience with Cadence tools is preferred but not essential
- Experience with timing closure and STA
- Exposure to physical verification and signoff
- Scripting experience, ideally with TCL, Python, or Shell
- Experience working with mixed signal or analogue blocks would be a strong advantage
- Experience with SerDes is useful but not essential
