Collaborate with RTL, STA, power DFT, verification and package teams for design convergence.
Lead ECO cycles for timing, congestion and physical signoff closure.
Review and debug physical verification and timing issues.
Manage schedules, resources and risk tracking for PD deliverables.
Prepare and present project status, risk and mitigation plans to management and customer.
Mentor and guide junior engineers in the team.
