Physical Verification: Mentor Calibre (DRC/LVS/PEX) or Synopsys IC Validator. Reliability/Sign-off: Experience with Voltus, RedHawk, or similar power/IR integrity tools
Multi-Node Design: Translate and optimize designs across different process geometries, including transition strategies from Planar (e.g., 28nm) to FinFET (e.g., 16nm, 7nm…) nodes.
Simulation & Verification: Perform comprehensive pre-layout and post-layout simulations, including Monte Carlo, corner analysis, noise analysis, and reliability modeling (EM/IR/Aging/BTI/HCI).
Methodology: Drive best practices in analog design methodology, including the adoption of automated design tools and script-based verification (Python/SKILL/Tcl).
