NIDA FARUQUI — Software Engineer

I’m a semiconductor design engineer with hands-on experience in standard cell design, characterization, and physical design. My expertise spans across library validation, SPICE simulation automation, and Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) analysis, ensuring high-quality and silicon-accurate standard-cell libraries. I have developed end-to-end automation flows for characterization and validation, implemented Figure of Merit (FOM) analysis, and performed trend analysis using data-driven approaches. I’m proficient with Siemens and Synopsys characterization tools, and scripting for flow enhancement and debugging. In physical design, I’ve worked on floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and DRC/LVS issue resolution, gaining a strong understanding of timing closure and congestion optimization. I’m currently exploring opportunities where I can contribute to standard cell design and physical implementation, leveraging my automation skills and cross-domain understanding to improve design efficiency and quality.
