Job Description and Requirements
We Are

We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.
You Are
You have spent years deep in the trenches of physical verification, and you know that a clean signoff is never just about running a deck. It is about understanding what the foundry actually meant in that spec, what the customer is trying to build, and where the tool will break if you do not catch it first. You have debugged enough DRC violations and LVS mismatches to know that the answer is rarely in the error message. It is in the layout, the process node quirks, or a rule interpretation that nobody wrote down.
You are comfortable sitting with a customer's design team, walking through a tapeout blocker, and leaving with a plan that works. You do not wait for perfect documentation. You read the foundry PDK, test it in ICV or Calibre, script a solution in Python or TCL, and move. You have a point of view on how verification flows should scale, and you are not afraid to push back when a methodology does not make sense or a release timeline is built on hope instead of reality.
