Summary
Shaheer Sajid is a Senior Hardware Engineer with 9 years of experience specializing in RTL-to-GDSII physical design, flow automation, and advanced-node implementation across Samsung 4 nm and TSMC 5 nm. As a founding member of DreamBig Semiconductor’s PD team, he built end-to-end implementation flows, automation frameworks, and methodology documentation that accelerated PPA closure and early signoff. His expertise spans floorplanning, power-grid architecture, CTS, and UPF domain setup, with practical innovations like via-ladder optimization and modular “Lego-like” PG integration that improved EM reliability and IR margins. He also led TSV-aware 3DIC automation and HBM interface work, and contributed an internal patent for ARM CMN interconnect optimization. Previously he led an RTL-to-GDSII tapeout of a 32-bit RISC-V MCU at NUST, delivering the full hardware–software ecosystem including FreeRTOS bring-up and an IEEE‑754 FPU. Based in Lahore, he combines deep hands-on physical design skills with a track record of methodology innovation and cross-functional mentorship.
