Job Summary

JD for FEV : Experience: 5+ years Experience with Formal Equivalence Verification (FEV) tools is a must Execute RTL Netlist, Netlist Netlist, and ECO FEV at block and full-chip levels Debug and resolve non-equivalence failures, aborted points, and compare issues due to synthesis, ECO, scan, and DFT logic Create and maintain reference FEV flows and testcases to validate tool features and methodologies Develop and automate workflows to improve efficiency and runtime of FEV signoff. Automation using Python/ Perl/Tcl is preferred Work closely with RTL, Synthesis, DFT, and Physical Design teams for issue closure. Generate signoff-ready reports and ensure adherence to project signoff criteria Write clear documentation for FEV flows and train users on tool usage and best practices JD for VCLP : Experience: 5+ years Experience with Vectorless Low Power (VCLP/CLP) tools is a must Enable and execute UPF-based low-power verification at block and full-chip levels Validate power intent correctness including isolation, retention, level shifters, power switches, and always-on logic Debug and resolve low-power violations related to missing/incorrect UPF definitions and design connectivity Create reference low-power flows and testcases to evaluate tools, PDKs, and EM/LP-related collateral Develop and automate VCLP workflows to enhance accuracy and reduce runtime of VCLP signoff. Automation using Python/Perl/Tcl is preferred Collaborate with RTL, PD, and Power Architecture teams to close low-power issues Prepare low-power signoff reports and maintain VCLP checklists Document VCLP methodologies and train users on low-power best practices JD for EMIR: Experience: 5+ years Experience with ASIC EM IR tools: RHSC and/or Voltus is MUST. Enabling ASIC EMIR tools for new process node and latest technology features. Detailed knowledge of EMIR concepts and working of ASIC EMIR tool is a must. Creating reference flows that act as test vehicles to evaluate tools and EM tech files, PDK collaterals (precisely RV techfiles). Develop and automate workflows to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of EM IR analysis. Any automation language is must (Preferably python, perl and tcl) Debug and troubleshoot design challenges related to EM IR, providing cutting-edge solutions. Write good documents for ASIC EMIR flows and PDK. Train the users and design engineers on ASIC flows and tech file usage. JD for PD: Perform end‑to‑end physical design flow: Floorplanning Power planning (PG grid, IR) Placement & optimization CTS (Clock Tree Synthesis) Routing Post‑route optimization Achieve timing closure across all modes and corners Resolve DRC, LVS, ERC and signoff violations Handle low‑power design techniques: Multi‑Vt, Multi‑voltage (UPF) Power gating, clock gating Perform physical verification and signoff: STA (Primetime)
