Job Description
We are seeking a highly detail-oriented "Physical Design IPQA Engineer" to ensure the silicon-readiness and high-quality delivery of our IP portfolio. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end Physical Design verification flow, utilizing CrossCheck and industry-standard EDA tools to validate GDSII, LEF, and Netlist consistency, with a specific focus on "TSMC advanced process nodes".
͏
Key Responsibilities
● IPQA Execution: Perform comprehensive Physical Design checks, including Pin Label validation, GDS/CDL uniqueness, and GDS2RH view verification.
● Advanced Node Validation:Ensure all IP deliverables adhere strictly to "TSMC N3P and N2P" design rules and integration requirements.
● Cross-Tool Validation:Utilize CrossCheck tools to identify inconsistencies between timing models (lib), physical abstracts (LEF), and layout data (GDS).
● Physical Verification:Run and debug sign-off quality DRC (Design Rule Check) and LVS (Layout vs. Schematic) to ensure zero-defect IP delivery.
● EDA Tool Integration:Work within Synopsys (SNPS) and Cadence (CDNS) environments to perform LEF consistency checks and ensure compatibility across multiple PD flows.
● Quality Reporting:Document IPQA violations, coordinate with design teams for fixes, and provide final quality sign-off reports. Required Technical Skills |
● PD IPQA Expertise:Proven experience in IP Quality Assurance with a focus on the physical domain.
● Foundry Knowledge:Deep familiarity with "TSMC advanced nodes", specifically "N3P and N2P" process technologies.
● Design Collaterals:Extensive experience handling and validating "TSMC design collaterals", including PDKs, techfiles, and foundation IP kits.
● Tool Proficiency:Hands-on experience with CrossCheck and standard physical verification tools (e.g., Calibre, IC Validator, or Pegasus).
● Format Knowledge:Deep understanding of IP deliverables including GDSII, LEF, DEF, CDL, and .lib formats.
● EDA Ecosystem:Familiarity with Synopsys and Cadence Physical Design suites.
● Scripting:Ability to use Tcl, Python, or Perl to automate check runs and parse log files.
Preferred Qualifications
● Experience working with external EDA vendors for tool support and flow enhancement.
● Previous experience in a high-volume IP house or foundry environment.
