• Knowledge of signal integrity, EM/IR, and reliability analysis.
• Familiarity with DFT schemes and chip-level integration.
• Ability to run simulators, write automation scripts, and be tool-savvy.
• Good communication and leadership skills; capable of multi-tasking.

Responsibilities

• Analyze different memory architectures and highlight the tradeoffs.
• Design and build memory or circuit blocks at the gate or transistor level.
• Simulate and analyze the circuit design using transistor level simulators.
• Extract the layout and perform post‑layout simulations and verification.
• Floorplan physical implementation and leafcell layout integration to build the physical macro.
• Integrate characterization flow to extract timing and power information.
• Develop scripts to automate characterization flow, simulations, and verification.
• Specify and verify various behavioral and physical memory models.
• Document the design specifications, behavioral description, and timing diagrams.
• Specify silicon test plan and correlate silicon to simulation data.
• Help debug silicon issues.
