As a Senior Full Chip Physical Verification Engineer in the Silicon Engineering team, you will own and execute full-chip DRC, LVS, ESD, PERC, and antenna signoff using tools like Calibre, ICV, or Pegasus. Your daily tasks include developing and optimizing verification flows for advanced node SoCs, interpreting foundry Design Rule Manuals (DRM), debugging complex violations, coordinating tapeout readiness across teams, and engaging with foundries to resolve ambiguities. You will leverage AI agents to automate rule deck validation and signoff reporting workflows. The role requires deep expertise in SOC top-level physical design flows, IP integration, DRC, LVS, PERC, ESD verification methodologies, scripting skills (csh/bash, Perl, Python, TCL), and experience with large SoCs (>10M gates) at advanced nodes (4nm and below).
