What's inside
Chapter 1 covers the shared ground: timing basics, clock domains, reset strategy, and how to talk about a design you did not write.
Chapters 2 to 4 go role by role. Design verification: UVM component roles, coverage closure, a constrained-random debug story. Physical design: floorplan trade-offs, STA violations and the fix hierarchy. DFT: scan insertion, ATPG coverage gaps, MBIST scheduling.
Chapter 5 is the portfolio: what a hiring manager looks for in a GitHub repo, and how to write a two-paragraph project summary.
