Looking for a Physical Desing CAD Engineer for 3nm Flow
CAD Engineer – Implementation
- The primary task in this role is to provide flow support and QA for existing implementation
(synthesis, place & route) flows.
- Support requests would come through a bug tracking system, potentially from automated regressions in some cases.
- The candidate will need to partner with flow developers and the manager to prioritize these requests, root-cause the problems, and propose solutions.
- Depending on the complexity of each solution and the aptitude of the
