  • Knowledge of multi-voltage static verification tools.
  • Familiarity with the complete RTL-to-GDSII design flow.
  • Strong communication abilities for effective collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.

Responsibilities

  • Enhance power intent coverage via advanced static and dynamic verification techniques.
  • Develop tailored UPF solutions to align with unique project requirements.
  • Oversee UPF deployment and sign-off for frontend and place-and-route stages.
  • Conduct thorough power intent assessments on custom circuitry.
  • Partner with design and verification teams to troubleshoot and fix UPF-related workflow challenges.
