Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Jane Street as an employer.
What you need
- 8+ years hands-on experience building and running modern physical design flows (e.g., floorplanning, place and route, timing closure, physical verification, power analysis)
- Ability to own a PD flow end-to-end and identify risks
- Experience reading and writing RTL
- Understanding of how front-end design decisions affect physical implementation and vice versa
- Interest in using software engineering techniques to improve hardware design
- Experience programming in a high-level language (Python, C++, Haskell, etc.)
Worth weighing
- This role is not traditional PD; candidates should be comfortable with a broader scope that includes RTL and chip design thinking.
- The company emphasizes the use of tools to improve productivity and is open to teaching OCaml, indicating a willingness to adapt and learn new technologies.
- Candidates who have only worked in PD may not find this role suitable, as it requires a more integrated approach across the design process.
