Bayan Lepas

Role description

Role Proficiency:

Ability to execute 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 discussions, training, and forum.
