A specialist Physical Design partner, built for one discipline.

Latency Semi exists because exceptional Physical Design engineers are hard to find, harder to train fast, and even harder to retain. We built a company around solving exactly that.

Why We Exist

Our Story

Latency Semi was founded by a team of engineers with 12+ years of combined experience in VLSI Physical Design—floorplanning, CTS, routing, timing closure, and sign-off—across the semiconductor industry.

We kept seeing the same gap from both sides of the table: companies struggling to find engineers who could contribute from day one, and capable engineers struggling to break in or level up without structured mentorship. So we built the bridge ourselves—a company that hires for potential, trains to a client-ready standard, and stays accountable for the placement long after the offer letter is signed.

We stay deliberately narrow. Physical Design is the only discipline we work in, and depth in one domain beats breadth across many.

Our Mission

What we’re working toward

To become the most trusted Physical Design talent partner in the industry—where clients ask for engineers by our name, and engineers see us as the fastest, most credible path into a serious PD career.

Our promise: quality over volume, every time. We would rather place five engineers who thrive than fifty who churn.
What Sets Us Apart

Recruiting and training, done with engineering rigor

Domain Depth

Every recruiter and trainer on our team understands Physical Design—we don’t outsource judgment to generalists.

Client-Ready Training

Structured knowledge transfer and mock interviews close the gap between “qualified on paper” and “productive on day one.”

Retention-Minded Placement

We match for long-term fit, not just a skills checklist, because a placement that churns in three months serves no one.

Senior-Led Mentorship

Training tracks are designed and delivered by engineers who have carried real tape-outs to sign-off.

Transparent Engagement

Clients and candidates both know exactly how the payroll, placement, and pricing model works—no fine print surprises.

Compliance-First Payroll

Every placement is backed by proper statutory compliance—EPF, ESI, PT, and gratuity—handled correctly from day one.
