  • 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.
