  • Own and execute full-chip DRC, LVS, ESD, PERC, and antenna signoff using industry-standard verification tools.
  • Develop, maintain, and optimize physical verification flows for advanced-node SoCs.
  • Interpret foundry Design Rule Manuals and translate rule updates into verified flow changes.
  • Debug and resolve complex DRC/LVS violations across hierarchical full-chip designs.
  • Perform ESD verification, including validation of protection strategies, current paths, and CDM/HBM compliance.
  • Drive tapeout readiness by coordinating signoff across block-level, top-level, and Hard IP design teams.
  • Work directly with foundry teams to resolve DRM ambiguities and waiver requests.
  • Modify design flows to improve chip integration requirements and overall design quality of results.
  • Leverage AI agents to automate rule deck validation, violation triage, and signoff reporting workflows.

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science.
  • 5+ years of ASIC and/or physical design flow development experience in industry.
  • Experience and deep understanding of SoC top-level physical design flows, including floorplanning, I/O, bump and RDL planning, hard IP integration, partitioning, power/ground grid generation, pin assignment, DFT, and special interface planning.
  • Experience in IP integration such as memories, I/O, analog IPs, SerDes, and DDR.
  • Deep expertise in DRC, LVS, PERC, and ESD verification methodologies.
  • Hands-on proficiency with Calibre, ICV (IC Validator), or Pegasus.
  • Direct foundry DRM experience with the ability to read, interpret, and implement complex rule decks.
  • Experience at advanced nodes, 4nm and below.
  • Experience with large SoC designs greater than 10M gates and frequencies in excess of 1 GHz.
  • Excellent scripting skills in csh/bash, Perl, Python, TCL, and Makefile.
  • Self-driven attitude and ability to work effectively in a dynamic group environment.
  • Ability to work extended hours and weekends as needed to meet critical project milestones.
  • U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee, or otherwise eligible for required U.S. Department of State export authorizations under ITAR.

  • Potential discretionary bonuses.
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan with the ability to buy additional stock at a discount.
  • Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage.
  • 401(k) retirement plan, short- and long-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
  • Paid parental leave.
