This role serves as a technical authority for signoff methodology, rule deck implementation, verification flow development, and critical tapeout readiness across multiple projects and process nodes.

The engineer in this role will lead the development and optimization of Calibre-driven flows, build code and tools that extend verification capability, and partner closely with design and layout teams to resolve high-impact issues from project setup through final signoff.

Key Responsibilities Calibre Technical Authority :
Serve as a recognized expert for Calibre-based physical verification flows, including DRC, LVS, ERC, PERC, parasitic extraction, and signoff methodology

Verification Flow Development :
Define, develop, maintain, and optimize Calibre verification flows and supporting infrastructure for analog and mixed-signal design teams

Rule Deck and Code Development :
Write, debug, and enhance SVRF and TVF rule sets, along with custom code and scripts that extend Calibre capabilities, improve debug efficiency, and strengthen flow reliability

Tapeout Support Leadership :
Lead or guide tapeout readiness activities, including final signoff checks, waiver management, antenna-related issue resolution, deliverable preparation, and coordination of critical verification closure items

Foundry Rule Integration :
Drive intake, validation, integration, and versioning of foundry rule files and process updates for advanced-node programs

Critical Debug and Escalation :
Resolve the most complex verification, runset, extraction, and rule deck issues affecting project execution or tapeout schedules

Project Enablement :
Support new project setup, verification environment readiness, and early issue identification so design teams can avoid downstream signoff risk Tooling and Automation :
Build internal tools, scripts, dashboards, and reporting utilities that improve verification visibility, XOR analysis, runtime efficiency, and license or compute usage

Technical Guidance and Mentorship :
Provide training, documentation, and expert guidance to engineers using verification flows and signoff methodologies across the organization

Must Have Skills Calibre Expertise :
Expert-level proficiency with Mentor Calibre across DRC, LVS, ERC, PERC, extraction, and signoff flows

Rule Deck Development :
Deep hands-on experience writing, debugging, and maintaining SVRF and TVF rule sets for advanced-node verification

Code and Tool Development :
Strong experience developing code, scripts, and internal tools that utilize and extend Calibre workflows, including automation, result parsing, analysis, and debug support

Tapeout and Signoff Support :
Proven experience supporting tapeouts, final verification closure, waiver flows, antenna-related issues, and foundry-facing signoff requirements

Advanced Node Experience :
Strong experience with TSMC design rules, rule deck integration, and physical verification challenges at nodes such as 16nm, 5nm, and 4nmDebug Leadership :
Ability to lead resolution of complex backend verification and extraction issues with significant project or schedule impactEDA Environment Knowledge :
Strong understanding of Linux-based EDA environments, compute infrastructure, license usage, and version-controlled design data workflows

Cross-Functional Technical Support :
Ability to work effectively with analog layout, design, CAD, and project teams in a fast-paced multi-project…
