• Review IP performance and quality to ensure conformance with desired standards and targets; contribute to the development of QA flows, verification methodology, and release automation.
• Drive continuous improvement in packaging throughput, release tooling, and customer support workflows (e.g., Jira / JSM-based intake and triage).
• Develop customer-facing collateral, including application notes, white papers, integration guides, and other supporting documentation to improve customer experience and reduce support load.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team-wide best practices in IP release and customer support.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, with 4+ years of relevant industry experience, OR

• Technical background in IC design, verification, QA, and IP release for advanced process nodes.
• Hands-on experience with Standard Cell Libraries, Analog/Mixed-Signal IPs (PLLs, GPIOs), and library characterization and QA flows.
• Familiarity with foundry PDK release flows and IP Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems such as Teamcenter and Carbon.
• Working knowledge of Synopsys and Cadence design and characterization tools used in standard cell and analog IP flows.
• Experience supporting external foundry customers in an IFS-like ecosystem model is a strong plus.
