Qualifications

Responsibilities:Lead and execute full-chip DRC, LVS, ESD, PERC, and antenna signoff using industry-standard tools such as Calibre, ICV, or Pegasus. Develop, maintain, and enhance physical verification flows for advanced node SoCs. Interpret and implement foundry Design Rule Manuals (DRM) — translating rule updates into verified flow changes. Debug and resolve intricate DRC/LVS violations across hierarchical full-chip designs. Conduct ESD verification — validating protection strategies, current paths, and CDM/HBM compliance. Ensure tapeout readiness by coordinating signoff across block and top-level and Hard IP design teams. Engage with foundry teams to address DRM ambiguities and waiver requests. Adapt design flows as necessary to meet design quality and chip integration requirements while leveraging AI agents for rule deck validation and violation triage.
