About the role
We are seeking a talented
Physical Verification Design Engineer
to join our VLSI design team. This role involves ownership of full-chip and block-level physical verification (PV) signoff, ensuring designs meet foundry and reliability requirements. The candidate will collaborate closely with physical design, PDK, CAD, and tapeout teams to deliver high-quality silicon.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform
physical verification (PV)
for block-level and full-chip designs, including: • Design Rule Check (
DRC
)
- Layout Versus Schematic (
LVS
)
- Electrical Rule Check (
ERC
)
- Antenna, density, and reliability checks
- Drive
signoff closure
by identifying and resolving PV violations efficiently.
- Work with
physical design and layout teams
to debug and fix violations.
- Develop and maintain
runsets, decks, and automation flows
using industry-standard tools.
- Analyze
foundry decks and PDK updates
, ensuring compliance with process requirements.

foundry and EDA vendors
to resolve tool or deck-related issues.
- Mentor junior engineers and review their work as needed.
Preferred / Added Advantage Skills
- Exposure to
Physical Design (PD)
concepts, including: •
Floorplanning
(macro placement, block shaping, congestion awareness)
•
Power Delivery Network (PDN) design
(power grid, IR drop considerations)
- Understanding of: •
Placement, CTS, routing flows
- PD-PV interaction and impact of layout decisions on DRC/LVS closure
- Knowledge of: •
EM/IR, latch-up, ESD reliability checks
•
Multi-patterning / EUV constraints
- Experience with
full-chip integration and SoC-level challenges
- Ability to
correlate PV issues with PD root causes
(e.g., spacing, density, routing hotspots)
