TL;DR · SoC Physical Design Verification Engineer

As a SoC Physical Design Verification Engineer within the Silicon Technologies group, you will join a critical team responsible for the physical verification of high-performance, power-efficient system-on-chip designs. Your daily responsibilities include performing various physical verification checks such as LVS, DRC, design-for-manufacturing, and lithography at both the chip and block levels. You will collaborate with CAD and Technology teams for flow bring up while working with implementation teams to drive signoff closure for tapeout. Additionally, you will manage schedules, support cross-functional engineering efforts, and work on padring, bump, RDL design, and floorplan integration. Required skills include experience with DRC/LVS/ANT/HVDRC flows, ESD guidelines, and mixed signal back-end verification. You should be proficient in Perl, Python, or Tcl for automation and familiar with industry tools like Mentor Calibre and Synopsys ICV.

What you'll do

  • Perform physical verification checks including LVS, DRC, DFM, and lithography at the chip and block levels.
  • Drive signoff closure for tapeout in coordination with the implementation team throughout the design cycle.
  • Collaborate with CAD and Technology teams to perform flow bring-up and validation.
  • Manage project schedules and support cross-functional engineering efforts.
  • Design padring, bump, and RDL components while coordinating with package and floorplan teams.
  • Execute mixed-signal back-end verification checks including ESD and macro placement guidelines.
  • Develop scripts in Perl, Python, or Tcl to debug flow issues and automate verification checks.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience with physical verification flows such as DRC, LVS, ANT, and HVDRC signoff (preferred).
  • Experience with ESD, macro placement design guidelines, and mixed-signal back-end verification (preferred).
  • Knowledge of all aspects of ASIC physical design and physical verification checks (preferred).
  • Scripting skills in Perl, Python, or Tcl to debug flows and automate checks (preferred).
  • Experience with industry standard tools like Mentor Calibre or Synopsys ICV (preferred).
  • Tapeout experience with a track record of successful signoff (preferred).
  • Layout design experience (preferred).
