  • Ensure compliance with DRC, LVS, density, and reliability requirements
  • Support parasitic extraction, post‑layout verification, and ECO activities
  • Create partial custom layouts for selected transistor‑level or small analog blocks

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Experience performing physical layout using industry EDA tools (ICC2 or equivalent)
  • Knowledge of timing‑driven layout and STA collaboration workflows
  • Familiarity with DRC, LVS, physical verification, and reliability checks
  • Ability to plan, document, and review layout goals with cross‑site teams

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with DRAM, memory circuits, or large‑scale hierarchical designs
