• Build optimize and maintain production-grade OPC flows inSiemens EDA Calibre(nmOPC OPCverify nmSRAF Calibre WORKbench ) andASML/Brion Tachyon(MB-OPC/MB-SRAF LMC).

• Develop and maintain automation recipe infrastructure and analysis frameworks usingPythonandTCL; drive coding standards and code reuse across the team.

• Execute lithography hotspot detection LMC verification and process window analysis; resolve hotspots through OPC SRAF placement and source/mask co-optimization.

• Drive runtime turnaround time and compute-resource optimization for production OPC jobs running on large compute clusters.

• Act as technical lead for cross-functional patterning issues; partner with integration etch metrology mask shop and design teams on root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers; review recipes code and methodologies as a senior technical reference.

• Represent the OPC team in technical reviews with EDA vendors scanner suppliers and internal stakeholders; influence tool roadmaps based on production needs.

• Document recipes methodologies and best practices to strengthen organizational knowledge.

Required Qualifications

• Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Physics Optics Materials Science or a related discipline. PhD will be beneficial.
