Senior PD CAD Equivalency Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior PD CAD Equivalency Engineer (Formal Equivalency Checking, Logic Signoff)

Description

You will own and evolve end-to-end formal equivalency checking CAD flows for next-generation silicon, covering RTL-to-netlist, netlist-to-netlist, functional ECO, and UPF-aware low-power verification. You will develop and maintain production flows and automation in Tcl and Python for Synopsys Formality and Cadence Conformal, and collaborate with design and EDA vendor teams to qualify tools and support tapeout closure. You will drive technical decisions for the equivalency domain and deliver measurable improvements in quality, runtime, reliability, regression coverage, and turnaround.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end formal equivalency CAD flow, including RTL-to-netlist, netlist-to-netlist, functional ECO, and low-power (UPF-aware) verification
• Develop, debug, and maintain production CAD flows and automation in Tcl and Python for Synopsys Formality and Cadence Conformal
• Partner with physical design, front-end/synthesis, and signoff teams and with EDA vendors to qualify tool releases and resolve critical issues
• Independently drive technical decisions, identify root causes of ambiguous tool behavior, and mentor/serve as backup for other engineers
• Deliver measurable improvements in flow quality, runtime, and reliability, including regression coverage and documentation
