Role Overview
As a Staff/Sr. Staff Physical Verification Engineer at Velaura AI, you will own block-level and full-chip physical verification and signoff for next-generation AI and high-performance computing silicon. You will drive physical verification from block-level implementation through full-chip integration and final tape-out, working on complex SoC designs targeting advanced process technologies.
This is a highly hands-on technical role requiring deep expertise in DRC, LVS, ERC, PERC, antenna, ESD/EOS, and reliability verification, along with the ability to identify root causes and implement physical fixes directly in Cadence Innovus and/or Synopsys Fusion Compiler.
You will work closely with Physical Design, Analog/Mixed-Signal, STA, Power Integrity, Reliability, I/O, and CAD teams to drive signoff convergence, establish robust PV methodologies, and achieve first-time-right silicon.

Responsibilities
● Own block-level and full-chip physical verification signoff, including DRC, LVS, ERC, PERC, antenna, ESD/EOS, and related reliability checks for complex ASIC/SoC designs.




● Drive tape-out readiness and signoff closure through violation triage, root-cause analysis, waiver management, schedule tracking, and convergence to zero or signoff-acceptable violations.
● Execute and debug physical verification using industry-standard tools such as Siemens Calibre and Synopsys IC Validator (ICV), including complex connectivity, device-recognition, hierarchy, and advanced-node rule issues.
● Correlate Calibre/ICV results with Cadence Innovus and/or Synopsys Fusion Compiler implementation databases and drive physical fixes through iterative verification to closure.
● Perform hands-on physical implementation and ECO changes, including routing and via edits, metal-shape modifications, cell movement, filler/decap/endcap updates, power-grid modifications, and other layout changes required for signoff.
● Define, customize, and enhance PERC and reliability verification flows
