ASIC Physical Verification Lead (Calibre DRC/LVS Sign-off) at NXP (Pune)

Job Description

NXP in Pune is hiring an ASIC Physical Verification Lead with about ten years of experience to drive physical verification sign-off for complex SoC and IP designs across several technology nodes, from block level to full-chip tape-out. The lead owns DRC, LVS, ERC, antenna, density and reliability checks, and mentors junior engineers.

At a glance

• Role: ASIC Physical Verification Lead (req. R-10066075)
• Location: Pune, India
• Experience: 8–12 years in ASIC physical verification
• Posted: 10 September 2026
• Apply: open until filled (re-checked 14 October 2026)

What you would do

• Lead physical verification sign-off from block level to full-chip tape-out
• Own closure of DRC, LVS, ERC, antenna, density and reliability checks
• Debug complex issues with physical design, layout, circuit design and foundry teams
• Develop verification methods, automation and sign-off flows, and mentor juniors

Why this role matters

Physical verification is the last gate before a chip design goes to the fab, and a missed error can cost months and millions. Leads who can sign off full chips across FinFET nodes are scarce, and India’s growing chip design sector makes this experience highly transferable.

What NXP Semiconductors is looking for

• 8–12 years of hands-on ASIC physical verification
• Strong Calibre DRC/LVS/ERC/PERC expertise
• Experience at 28nm and 16/14/12nm FinFET nodes
• Tcl, Python, Perl or shell scripting
• Exposure to foundries such as TSMC, Samsung or GlobalFoundries

Nice to have

• Full-chip hierarchical verification
• Analog/mixed-signal, memory or high-speed interface IP exposure
• Leading small teams through tape-outs
