Sr. Staff Engineer, Full-Chip Physical Verification and Foundry Sign off

Location: Bangalore (in office, flexible hours)

Ayar Labs is shattering AI data bottlenecks by moving data at the speed of light. As pioneers of co-packaged optics (CPO), we use light instead of electricity to move data faster, farther, and with a fraction of the energy required to fuel the explosive growth of AI models.

Backed by industry leaders including NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, and manufactured in partnership with the world’s leading semiconductor ecosystem, Ayar Labs’ co-packaged optics solution is key to enabling next-generation AI scale-up architectures.

The Sr. Staff Full-Chip Physical Verification and Foundry Signoff Engineer will own the physical-verification methodology and final database certification for complex mixed-signal SoCs used in high-speed electro-optical engines.

This engineer will be the accountable signoff owner for full-chip DRC, LVS, ERC, PERC, antenna, density, DFM, and related foundry requirements. The role extends beyond running verification tools:



it includes methodology development, violation disposition, waiver management, foundry interaction, and authorization of the final GDS/OASIS database for tapeout.

Key Responsibilities
* Own full-chip physical-verification methodology, execution, closure, and final tapeout certification.
* Drive DRC, LVS, ERC, PERC, antenna, density, DFM, metal-fill, XOR, and connectivity closure.
* Develop and maintain hierarchical and incremental PV flows for large mixed-signal SoCs.
* Resolve complex LVS issues involving hierarchy, black boxes, analog/custom blocks, multiple power domains, global nets, CDL/SPICE netlists, and parameterized devices.
* Own top-level verification of pad rings, bumps, RDL, seal rings, ESD structures, power connectivity, analog interfaces, and custom layout.
* Qualify foundry rule decks, runsets, tool versions, PDK updates, and signoff configurations.
* Establish processes for violation classification, o
