What You'll Be Doing

• Generate, validate, package, and release General Purpose and Specialty I/O libraries and associated EDA deliverables.
• Develop and maintain characterization flows for generating Liberty (.lib) models, including NLDM, NLPM, CCS Timing, CCS Power, variation modeling, and related views.
• Generate and validate industry-standard EDA views including NDM, LEF, Verilog, CDL, GDS, ATPG, IBIS, APL, CMM, and other customer deliverables.
• Perform quality assurance checks to ensure accuracy, consistency, and completeness of IP deliverables before release.
• Work closely with design and layout teams to understand circuit functionality, architecture, and flow requirements.
• Develop, maintain, and enhance automation scripts to optimize characterization, view generation, validation, and release processes.
• Establish and improve methodologies for view generation, validation, and packaging across various technology nodes and IP products.
• Investigate, debug, and resolve customer-reported issues related to IP deliverables and EDA views.
• Contribute to continuous improvements in IP development flows, methodologies, and release infrastructure.
• Support cross-functional teams by providing technical expertise on library models, EDA views, and downstream SoC integration requirements.

The Impact You Will Have

• Enable successful integration of Synopsys IP into customer SoCs through accurate and high-quality EDA deliverables.
• Improve product quality and customer satisfaction by delivering validated and production-ready IP release packages.
• Drive efficiency and scalability through automation and methodology enhancements.
• Accelerate design cycles by ensuring reliable characterization and EDA view generation processes.
• Reduce customer-reported issues through robust QA and validation methodologies.
• Strengthen Synopsys' reputation as a provider of high-quality semiconductor IP solutions.
• Contribute to continuous innovation in IP deployment methodologies and CAD infrastructure.

What You'll Need

• Strong understanding of semiconductor IP characterization and library generation flows.
• Hands-on experience generating and validating EDA deliverables such as Liberty (.lib), Verilog, LEF, CDL, GDS, ATPG, NDM, IBIS, APL, CMM, and related views.
• Knowledge of Liberty modeling methodologies including NLDM, NLPM, CCS Timing, CCS Power, and variation modeling concepts.
• Understanding of how characterization data and CAD views are used in synthesis, place-and-route, STA, DFT, simulation, and SoC implementation flows.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Tcl, or Shell for flow automation and validation.
• Experience working with design, layout, CAD, and product engineering teams in semiconductor development environments.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills with the ability to analyze and resolve customer-reported issues.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across global teams.
• Familiarity with IP release methodologies, quality assurance processes, and version control systems is highly desirable.

Who You Are:

• An analytical thinker with excellent problem-solving skills and keen attention to detail.
• A collaborative team player who values diversity, inclusion, and open communication.
• A proactive learner who stays current with industry trends and emerging technologies.
• An effective communicator, able to translate complex technical information to diverse audiences.
• A results-driven individual who is adaptable, resilient, and comfortable with fast-paced, high-impact work.
