Essential Responsibilities include:
Write and maintain Python, Shell, and Tcl scripts that automate design manual generation, ground-rule validation builds, PDK builds, releases, and regression checks. Build internal tools and dashboards that consolidate spreadsheets and logs into a current view of project status. Automate data extraction and reporting from test-site, design-manual, and verification sources to reduce manual data entry and improve consistency. Develop and extend regression test suites so kit and deck changes are validated automatically before release. Improve version-control and continuous-integration practices through repeatable builds, code review, and reusable scripts. Translate complex manual engineering workflows into documented automation that can be maintained and reused by the team. Own assigned deliverables, collaborate with engineering stakeholders, and present project results to the broader technology development organization at the end of the internship.
