Job Description: We are seeking an experienced ASIC Implementation Engineer to drive physical design execution on next-generation, high-complexity system-on-chip (SoC) architectures across advanced FinFET process nodes (e.g., 5nm, 3nm, 2nm). In this role, you will lead critical implementation disciplines—from floorplanning through to clocking, power integrity, and final tapeout. You will work closely with architecture, RTL, CAD, and package engineering teams, as well as external foundry partners and customers worldwide, to ensure first-pass silicon success under demanding performance, power, and area (PPA) constraints. Full-Flow Physical Implementation: Drive block- and top-level implementation flows, including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and post-route optimization. Physical Verification: Execute DRC, LVS, antenna, and ERC checks, resolving complex multi-patterning and design-rule violations associated with advanced lithography. Tool & Flow Optimization: Leverage and benchmark industry-standard EDA tool suites (Cadence, Siemens) to continuously enhance flow automation, runtime efficiency, and PPA metrics. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with geographically distributed teams, customers, and foundry interface teams to resolve implementation bottlenecks and adapt quickly to shifting project requirements. Requirements: BS Degree in Electrical Engineering and 12+ years related experience or MS in Electrical Engineering and 10+ years related work experience. Compensation and Benefits The annual base salary range for this position is USD 143,800.00 To USD 230,000.00 As a valued member of our team, you'll be eligible for a discretionary annual bonus and the opportunity to receive not only a competitive new hire equity grant, but also annual equity awards, connecting your success directly to the company's growth. All subject to relevant plan documents and award agreements. Broadcom offers a competitive and comprehensive benefits package: Medical, dental and vision plans, 401(K) participation including company matching, Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP), Employee Assistance Program (EAP), company paid holidays, paid sick leave and vacation time. The company follows all applicable laws for Paid Family Leave and other leaves of absence. Broadcom is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
