Provide insight based on real-world production silicon experience Tapeout, Verification & Silicon Validation
Support tasks related to tapeout flows, verification, timing closure, and silicon validation
Review work involving advanced semiconductor PDKs, schematic design, simulation, DRC/LVS, parasitic extraction, and silicon bring-up
Evaluate pre-silicon and post-silicon development workflows for technical soundness
Identify gaps in implementation methodology, verification planning, timing analysis, or physical design reasoning Hardware Engineering Evaluation & Technical Feedback
Review technical outputs involving semiconductor and hardware engineering workflows
Provide clear written feedback on design quality, feasibility, tradeoffs, and engineering assumptions
Explain architectural, power, performance, and timing tradeoffs in a precise and practical way
Maintain accuracy, consistency, and strong engineering judgment across submitted materials Ideal Profile
Strong candidates may have:
Current location in the United States
Hands-on ownership of chip blocks or systems through tapeout
Experience with advanced semiconductor PDKs such as TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, Intel, or comparable platforms
Familiarity with pre-silicon and post-silicon development flows
Strong understanding of schematic design, simulation, verification, DRC/LVS, parasitic extraction, timing closure, and silicon bring-up
Ability to explain semiconductor design tradeoffs clearly in writing
Ability to work independently in a remote, project-based environment
Relevant Technical Experience May Include:
Analog / Mixed-Signal Design: ADCs, PLLs, LDOs, SerDes, PMICs, sensor interfaces, or related circuit blocks
RFIC Design: LNAs, mixers, transceivers, PLLs, PAs, mmWave systems, or related RF blocks
ASIC / Physical Design: RTL, synthesis, STA, floorplanning, CTS, PnR, ECO flows, or related implementation work Educational Background
Academic backgrounds in electrical engineering, computer engineering, microelectronics, semiconductor design, applied physics, or related fields may be highly relevant
