• Manage the handoff of library collateral (e.g., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) process design kits (PDKs), Synopsys, and other third-party intellectual properties (IPs)) to projects, performing checks to ensure data integrity.
• Drive library validation across views (.lib, .db, .ndm, .lef, .gds) using tools like Siemens Solido Crosscheck (formerly Fractal Crossfire).
• Perform Logic Equivalency Checking (LEC) using tools such as Formality or Conformal.
• Oversee library updates in ASIC projects, applying methodical processes to detect and prevent errors during releases.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4 years of experience with managing vendor engagements and library delivery schedules in an ASIC design environment.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
• Experience in Logic Equivalency Checking (LEC) (e.g., Formality or Conformal).
• Familiarity with practices for managing ASIC project library updates and releases.
• Proficiency in library validation tools (e.g., Solido Crosscheck) and understanding of foundation library PDKs from foundries (e.g., TSMC).
• Demonstrated ability to compile libraries and debug issues across design views (.lib, .db, .ndm, .lef, .gds).
  
• Skills with scripting languages such as Tcl or Python to automate workflows and experience creating technology library management and installation flows with integrated validation.
