Description
We are seeking a CAD LEQ (Logical Equivalence Checking) Engineer to develop, deploy, and support equivalence checking methodologies across complex SoC programs. This role focuses on ensuring functional correctness between RTL, synthesized netlists, and post\-implementation designs, while driving scalable, robust sign\-off flows.","responsibilities":"Own and maintain LEQ sign\-off methodology across RTL\-to\-GDS flows
Develop and support flows using tools such as Cadence Conformal and equivalent industry solutions
Drive power\-aware equivalence checking including CPX flows
Enable ECO flows, ensuring safe and correct implementation of late\-stage design changes
Debug equivalence failures and perform root\-cause analysis across RTL, synthesis, and PnR stages
Collaborate with design, synthesis, PD, and power teams to resolve mismatches and improve convergence
Optimize runtime, capacity, and scalability of LEQ flows for large SoCs
Define best practices, guidelines, and automation for LEQ usage across projects
Partner with EDA vendors to resolve tool issues and drive feature improvements
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with power\-aware LEQ and low\-power verification flows
Familiarity with synthesis and PnR flows
Experience in large\-scale SoC environments and multi\-site collaboration
Exposure to ECO flows and late\-stage sign\-off methodologies
Experience working with EDA vendors and driving tool improvements
Minimum Qualifications
BSc/MSc in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science
5\+ years of experience in VLSI industry
Strong understanding of: RTL design, Synthesis and netlist transformations, low\-power design ( UPF concepts)
