Tools & Methodologies

Contribute to automation to accelerate ASIC development processes, flow improvements, and EDA tool evaluations.

Develop utilities to enhance productivity and improve design/verification processes.

Work with EDA tools for physical design, including synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and sign-off flows.

Support Design-for-Test (DFT) methodology development and integration.

General Responsibilities

Collaborate with team members to troubleshoot technical issues and propose solutions.

Participate in team meetings, learn project methodologies, and share progress during periodic reviews.

Actively engage in learning new technologies and best practices relevant to your focus area.

Complete assigned tasks efficiently and incorporate feedback.
