Job Description

You will be responsible for developing and maintaining the physical verification infrastructure required for VLSI design. The primary focus of the role is to develop, implement, and support DRC/LVS rule decks that enable accurate and reliable chip verification according to process and device definitions.
In this role, you will translate device and process requirements into robust DRC/LVS verification code, ensuring consistency between layout, schematic, and manufacturing constraints. The Technician will also support and maintain the verification environment, integrate different EDA tools when required, and develop automation flows to improve efficiency and quality. The position involves close collaboration with internal design teams as well as BU device and process teams in the factory. This is an opportunity to participate in technically challenging projects contributing to reliability improvement, cost reduction, and product quality enhancement.
Key Responsibilities:
•    Develop and maintain DRC and LVS rule decks based on specifications.
•    Translate design manuals and process documentation into production-ready verification code.
•    Support and maintain the physical verification work environment.
•    Integrate and automate EDA tool flows to ensure seamless verification processes.
•    Debug and optimize rule decks for performance, robustness, and scalability.
•    Provide technical support to design teams regarding DRC/LVS issues.
•    Work closely with device, process, and layout engineers to resolve verification discrepancies.
•    Contribute to continuous improvement of verification methodologies and infrastructure.

This Job Is For You If

•    Passionate about technology and new developments  
•    Have innovative thinking and finds creative solutions 
•    Have good collaboration and communication skills

Job Requirements

•    Technician or Practical Engineer in Software, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Electronics- a must
•    B.Sc. in the relevant fields- advantage
