# Pysical Design Engineer

Occupation

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/pysical-design-engineer

Physical Design Engineers translate high-level chip designs into the physical layouts that semiconductor manufacturers fabricate, working through the RTL-to-GDS flow using electronic design automation (EDA) tools to handle placement, routing, timing closure, and power optimization. The work involves collaborating with RTL designers and architects to solve implementation challenges on increasingly complex silicon at advanced process nodes, using tools like Cadence and Synopsys to verify designs meet timing, power, and area targets before tape-out. The role suits engineers with formal training in electrical or computer engineering and several years of hands-on experience in place-and-route, physical verification, and the constraints of modern chip manufacturing.
