The HyperLynx DRC Rule Intern will review and enhance documentation for out-of-the-box HyperLynx DRC rules to improve clarity, usability, and customer adoption. The role focuses on translating rule intent and implementation into clear, structured guidance that reduces support needs and accelerates onboarding. A programming background in Python and/or VBScript is preferred to support understanding of rule behavior and underlying implementation when needed.

Primary Responsibilities

• Review Existing Rule Documentation

Analyze out-of-the-box HyperLynx DRC rule documentation for accuracy, completeness, and clarity.

• Enhance Clarity and Usability

Rewrite and restructure rule descriptions to ensure they are easy to understand for both new and experienced users, minimizing ambiguity and redundancy.

• Translate Rule Intent into Practical Guidance

Clearly articulate the purpose, use cases, and expected outcomes of each rule, bridging the gap between algorithm implementation and user understanding.

• Standardize Documentation Structure

Apply consistent formatting, terminology, and organization across all rule documentation (e.g., description, inputs, constraints, violations, examples).

• Develop Examples and Use Cases

Create concise, real-world examples illustrating rule behavior, common violations, and recommended fixes.

• Validate Rule Behavior Against Documentation

Cross-check documented behavior with actual rule execution to ensure alignment and identify discrepancies.

• Collaborate with Engineering and Product Teams

Work with rule authors and developers to clarify technical details, assumptions, and edge cases.

• Leverage Scripting Knowledge for Deeper Insight

Use VBScript and Python (where applicable) to inspect rule logic, test behaviors, or create small validation scripts.

• Identify Documentation Gaps and Improvement Opportunities

Proactively flag unclear areas, missing guidance, or support-heavy topics that require better explanation.

• Support Customer Adoption and Onboarding

Optimize documentation to reduce support requests and accelerate user understanding and productivity.
