Manager, Design Verification

Provide technical direction to a small group of physical design engineers, including task breakdown, priority setting, and quality expectations.

Mentor junior engineers and NCGs in PNR, STA and debug practices to build a strong second tier of technical capability.

Review floorplans, constraints, and implementation choices from team members, giving clear, actionable feedback.

Act as a go-to technical reference within the PD team.

Work closely with RTL design, STA, DFT, CAD, and packaging teams to converge on implementation-friendly architectures and constraints.

Communicate risks, options, and trade-offs clearly to project leads and managers, and help shape mitigation plans.

Participate in design reviews and signoff reviews, representing physical design status, risks, and recommendations.

Strong experience in physical design implementation for complex digital SoCs, typically 8–12+ years in physical design or equivalent level of mastery.

Proven hands-on expertise with industry-standard PNR and signoff tools (e.g., Cadence Innovus, Synopsys ICC2, Tempus/PrimeTime, RedHawk, Voltus, etc.).

Demonstrated success in closing challenging blocks/subsystems on advanced nodes (timing-, IR-, and congestion-critical designs).

Solid understanding of:

Floorplanning and partitioning strategies

Power grid and PDN methodology (including IR/EM mitigation)

Advanced clock tree/clock mesh design and constraints

STA constraints (modes/corners, exceptions, derates)

Physical verification and reliability checks

Strong problem-solving and debugging mindset, with a bias toward scalable, automated solutions.

Clear, concise communication skills—able to explain complex technical issues and options to different audiences.

Demonstrated commitment to mentoring, knowledge sharing, and raising the capability of the broader team.

Comfortable operating in a dynamic environment with shifting priorities while maintaining quality and accountability.
