Role Proficiency:

Ability to e xecute any small to mid size customer project in any field of VLSI Frontend Backend or Analog design with minimal supervision

Outcomes:

     Work as an individual contributor to own any one task of RTL Design/Module and provide support to junior engineers in Verification/PD/DFT/Circuit Design/Analog Layout/STA/Synthesis/Design Checks/Signoff etc.      Independently analyze and complete the assigned task in the defined domain(s) successfully and on-time On time quality delivery approved by the project lead/manager

Measures of Outcomes:

     Quality –verified using relevant metrics by Lead/Manager      Timely delivery - verified using relevant metrics by Lead/Manager      Reduction in cycle time and cost using innovative approaches      Number of trainings attended      Number of new projects handled

Outputs Expected:

Quality of the deliverables:

Ensure clean delivery of the design and module in-terms of ease in integration at the top level Meet functional spec / design guidelines 100% of the time without any deviation or limitation Documentation of the tasks and work performed

Timely delivery:

Meeting project timelines as requested by the program manager Support the team lead in intermediate tasks delivery

Team Work:

Participation in team work; supporting team members/lead at the time of need Able to perform additional tasks in-case any team member(s) is not available

Innovation & Creativity:

Automate repeated tasks to save design cycle time as a necessary approach Participation in technical discussion
training
forum
