Staff Physical Verification Engineer

Key Responsibilities - Own full-chip and block-level physical verification signoff, including DRC, LVS, ERC, PERC and antenna/ESD checks for multiple complex So Cs. - Drive tape-out readiness: manage PV schedules, track violations, converge to zero/signoff-acceptable errors, and deliver clean GDS. - Develop, maintain, and optimize PV flows and scripts (e.g., Calibre, ICV) for performance, robustness, and ease of use. - Define and enhance PERC and reliability rule checks (ESD, EOS, EM-related constraints, point-to-point resistance, high current-density paths) in collaboration with reliability, I/O, and analog teams. - Own the floorplanning and power grid planning to minimize PV iterations and avoid late-stage violations. - Own debugging of complex DRC/LVS/PERC violations, including corner-case connectivity, device recognition, Fin FET-specific rules - restrictive spacing, coloring, cut-mask and EUV/multi-patterning constraints - Partner with CAD teams to validate and qualify new technology nodes, rule decks, and fill/DFM flows before project adoption. - Mentor and guide junior and senior engineers on PV best practices, root-cause analysis methodologies, and signoff criteria. - Act as primary technical interface to foundry and EDA vendors for PV and reliability issues, waivers, and methodology improvements. Required Qualifications - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field. - Typically 8-12 years of experience in physical verification for complex ASIC/So C designs, including several successful production tape-outs as signoff owner. - Proven experience owning DRC/LVS/PERC signoff for at least one 5 nm (or sub-7 nm) production tape-out in a Fin FET process - Deep hands-on expertise with industry-standard PV tools (e.g., Siemens Calibre, Synopsys IC Validator) for DRC, LVS, ERC, PERC and ANT/ESD checks. - Hands-on experience with Cadence Virtuoso-PV tool integration( Virtuoso layout to Caliber/ICV for DRC/LVS/PERC) - Strong experience with advanced process nodes (e.g., 5 nm and below) and associated design-rule and reliability challenges. - Proven track record in driving full-chip PV signoff in digital-on-top, mixed-signal, or multi-voltage So Cs, including hierarchical flows and IP integration. - Solid scripting skills in at least one of: Python, Perl, Tcl, or Unix shell, for automation and flow development. - Experience with PERC-based reliability flows for ESD, EOS, LUP and current-density-based checks, including setup, customization, and signoff criteria definition. - Familiarity with DFM/DFY checks, density/fill strategies, and pattern-matching-driven rule decks - Strong understanding of physical design (place & route, timing closure, power integrity) and its interaction with PV signoff. - Excellent problem-solving, debug, and communication skills, with demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical closure.
