  • Conduct equivalence verification (e.g., ESPCV) for developed designs.
  • Verify functionality, performance, and power of circuits.
  • Perform characterization and view generation across multiple PVT corners.
  • Support Place & Route (PnR), Simulation, and Signoff tools.
  • Work with EDA tools for RC extraction, SPICE simulation, schematic/layout editing.
  • Ensure accuracy and availability of library views (LEF, NLDM, CCS, .LIB).
  • Develop and maintain automation scripts using Python, Perl, or TCL.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, VLSI, or related field.
  • Hands-on experience in standard cell design and characterization.
  • Strong knowledge of EDA tools for extraction, simulation, and verification.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL) for automation.
  • Familiarity with timing, power, and noise models (NLDM, CCS, Liberty).
  • Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.

Contract Details

  • Duration: 6 months (extendable based on performance and project needs)
  • Notice Period: Immediate to 30 days preferred
  • Compensation: As per market standards (flexible for the right candidate)
