Job Title

Job Role : PV CAD EngineerExperience : 6 to 12 yearsLocation : HyderabadRole SummaryWe are looking for an experienced Physical Verification (PV) and IR/EM Engineer with hands‑on experience in advanced‑node SoC designs. The role involves full‑chip and block‑level ownership of PV signoff and power integrity (IR/EM) analysis, working closely with PD, CAD, and foundry teams to ensure first‑time‑right silicon. Knowledge on 3DIC Phy/IR-EM especially is a fetch for the role.ResponsibilitiesPhysical Verification (PV)· Own block‑level and full‑chip PV signoff including DRC, LVS, ERC, and DFM checks.· Debug and resolve complex DRC/LVS violations in large SoC designs.· Drive PV convergence strategies for advanced nodes (N3/N5/N6).· Work with PD and CAD teams to define robust PV flows and methodologies.· Review and interpret foundry rule decks (PDK updates) and drive necessary flow changes.· Support tape‑out readiness and milestone exits (NLB / NLC / NLD).IR / EM / Power Integrity· Own static and dynamic IR drop analysis at block and full‑chip levels.· Perform Signal EM and Power EM analysis, including RMS and peak checks.· Identify systematic power integrity issues and drive architectural/layout fixes.· Collaborate with clock, RDL, packaging, and 3DIC teams for power grid robustness.· Review and apply waivers / guidelines in coordination with CAD, DFP, and foundry teams.· Support aging, reliability, and FIT analysis as required.Cross‑Functional & Leadership· Act as technical interface between PD, CAD, DFP, and foundry.· Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers.· Drive best practices, automation, and flow improvements.· Contribute to post‑silicon learning feedback for future designs.Requirements· Experience with Full-chip signoff on high-performance SOCs & TSMC foundries preferred.Strong hands‑on experience in: DRC, LVS, ERC, DFM signoff, Static & Dynamic IR drop analysis, Signal EM / Power EM analysis· Expertise with industry tools: Cadence: Innovus, Voltus, Pegasus & Synopsys: ICC2, ICV, PrimeRail (or equivalent)· Solid understanding of: Advanced node design rules (N3/N5/N6), Power grid design and clock distribution & Foundry PDKs and signoff requirements· Scripting skills in TCL / Python / Perl for flow automation.· Strong debugging, data analysis, and problem‑solving skills.
