About the role
You will be working in the Silicon Design Automation (Design Automation / CAD) group as a senior owner of Reliability Verification tools, flows and methodology (TFM), responsible for developing and supporting our RV flows across custom/analog and ASIC design styles — and for running block-level RV yourself on live projects.
What they're looking for
- Hands-on production experience with at least one industry-standard EM/IR tool: Ansys Totem, Ansys RedHawk/RedHawk-SC, Cadence Voltus or Voltus-XFi
- Working understanding of electromigration, static and dynamic IR drop, self-heating, current density and peak-current analysis, and how RV set points translate into design sign-off criteria
- Practical experience running verification or analysis on real design databases and debugging results with designers
- Strong programming and automation skills in Python and Tcl, plus shell scripting in a Linux/LSF-style compute environment
- Ability to work effectively and independently across geographically distributed teams (San Jose, Penang, India), with attention to detail and strong written and verbal communication

About the Role
You will be working in the Silicon Design Automation (Design Automation / CAD) group as a senior owner of Reliability Verification tools, flows and methodology (TFM), responsible for developing and supporting our RV flows across custom/analog and ASIC design styles — and for running block-level RV yourself on live projects.
Our design teams are our users. You will work directly with design team leads, physical design owners, and the reliability, QRE and technology enablement communities to understand what each project and each process node demands of the RV flows, then define, build, release and support the methodology and tools that gets designers to RV sign-off.
RV development and RV execution are both core to this job, not a side project. You will own the flows, and you will also be one of the engineers who runs block and IP-level EM/IR analysis, triages violations with designers, and drives them to closure against project RV set points and sign-off limits.
You will develop and release production-grade RV flows, regressions and automation, and support the design teams running them: triaging tickets, debugging EM/IR issues alongside designers during live...
