• Block-level layout implementation and timing closure.
• Static timing analysis (STA), crosstalk analysis, and timing closure.
• Synthesis and physical synthesis.
• Power, IR drop, and electromigration (EM) analysis.
• Physical verification (LVS, DRC, ERC).
• Engineering change order (ECO) implementation.

What We're Looking For

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field (expected to graduate in 2027)
• Experience with scripting or programming in Tcl/Tk or Perl.
• Detail-oriented and self-motivated, with the ability to work well in a team.
• Good verbal and written communication skills in English.
