Role Objective

As the gatekeeper of IP Management, Methodology and Quality at Astera Labs, you will lead the strategic development of our AI-powered IP Lifecycle Management and IP Quality Assurance Platform. You won't just run tools; you will architect a scalable, user-friendly system that serves as the foundation for our "AI-first" IP ecosystem. Your mission is to ensure every IP, whether internal or external is easily accessible, physically, logically, and structurally "SOC-ready," preventing late-stage integration breaks that delay tape-outs. Our vision is to revolutionize IP Management and Quality Assurance with an AI-first approach.

The candidate will be responsible for developing the platform, auditing and qualifying internal and external IP (Hard/Soft Macros, PHYs, Memories and standard cells libraries among other IPs). The IPLM and IPQA tools will scale to cover SOC QA and be a key element of the tape out sign-out requirements. The successful candidate will have the right expertise to run all EDA tools, understand the results, challenge the false pass scenarios, and dig into the root cause of real errors. They will work with the vendors or with our internal IP teams to solve the issues.

They will be responsible for ensuring that all IP deliveries are integrable, timing-clean, and manufacturable, preventing "late-stage" SOC breaks caused by inconsistent IP views or structural violations. IPQA will cover all aspects of the design flow starting from Architecture coherence, PPA evaluation, Front-End integration, SDC, RDC, DFT, PD and PDV, Packaging, ESD, Waivers, IP-XACT; and be scalable from the technology foundations, FinFet and Gate-All-Around transistors’ properties, DK/PDK integrity and rule decks from foundries, Standard Cells, Memories, IP, Subsystems and SOC Quality.

Technical Responsibilities

• AI-Driven Automation: Architect and Lead the integration of agentic AI workflows into the IPLM and IPQA platform to automate IP Management, root-cause analysis of false pass scenarios and self-heal real issues.
• Chiplet Readiness: Verify IP compliance with high-speed and high-bandwidth interface standards for heterogeneous integration.
• Cross-View Consistency: Architect automated audits for logical-to-physical consistency across RTL, Liberty, LEF, GDSII, and CDL views, focusing on pin-naming, bus-integrity, and functionality.
• Physical & Sign-off Audits: Perform independent LVS, DRC, and Antenna signoffs using native runsets for 5nm/3nm and beyond nodes.
• Structural & DFT Verification: Validate DFT requirements, including scan-chain integrity, MBIST handshakes, and fault-coverage transparency.
• Power & Timing Integrity: Audit Power Domain (UPF/CPF) consistency and conduct deep-dive Liberty (.lib) audits to identify missing timing arcs or non-monotonic lookup tables. Audit IR-drop/EM (Electromigration) reports to ensure the IP won't cause localized power grid failures.
• Waiver Management: Develop rigorous, automated Waiver Audit Protocol to ensure that provider-cleared violations do not violate Astera Labs' internal sign-off deck requirements.
