Hillsboro, Or

Working in a Design Automation (DA) team that delivers Custom/ASIC design environments to a multi-site AMS and memory IP design team. Currently, focusing specifically on leading the testing of the custom flows/tools for the design environments to ensure high quality. The testing role involves working with the DA team to establish a regression testing framework which runs all the design environment flows and tools utilizing specific test cases that generate many test success or failure metrics. Prior knowledge in leading development in the following areas:Custom spice simulation tools and flows for Analog and AMS using Cadence, Synopsys and BDACustom layout parasitic extraction using Synopsys StarRCCustom netlisting from Cadence design libraries for cdl,spice,verilog and icv formats
