NORMAL COMPUTING | BUILD WITH US Normal is an applied AI company solving the hardest problems in AI and silicon. We build foundational hardware and software for the semiconductor industry, critical AI infrastructure, and the broader systems that power our world, in partnership with the world's most advanced institutions. We work as one team across New York City, Silicon Valley (Mountain View), London, Copenhagen, and Seoul. THE ROLE As a Physical Design Manager at Normal, leading the team owns the end-to-end silicon realization path, taking complex architectures from synthesis and physical floorplanning all the way through timing signoff and GDSII tapeout. Sitting at the intersection of custom ASIC design and our hardware-algorithm co-designed systems, you will shape physical feasibility early in the design cycle by working shoulder-to-shoulder with RTL and architecture teams. You'll drive the full backend implementation flow—optimizing floorplanning, place-and-route (P&R), clock tree synthesis (CTS), static timing analysis (STA), and physical verification (DRC/LVS) to achieve aggressive power, performance, and area (PPA) targets. We are looking for a seasoned engineer and manager who thrives in cross-functional environments and takes pride in tapeout-proven execution. The ideal candidate brings effective team building and leaders, and a meticulous approach to physical signoff, maintains clarity in fast-paced build cycles, and is excited to solve the physical constraints of novel computing architectures. WHAT YOU WILL OWN - Physical Design Team Hiring & Leadership: Provide leadership of the PD team, including necessary hiring to support the plan, and individual guidance and performance feedback - Project Planning: Create work estimates and schedule to support an aggressive tapeout plan - EDA tools acquisition: Specify and help negotiate the appropriate EDA tools to support the physical design methodology - Design & Floorplan Reviews: Collaborate closely with RTL, ar…
