lead Design Engineer

Overview

Circuit Pathfinding Engineer on the Technology Pathfinding team within the Silicon Solutions Group, focused on maximizing the PPA of analog mixed-signal (AMS) IP using foundry process technology and roadmaps.

What you'll do

• Design key AMS circuits to benchmark and optimize PPA in an early-stage or experimental technology setting.
• Analyze complex PPA trade-offs related to timing, power, area and reliability.
• Evaluate advanced process development kits (PDKs) from a design and competitiveness viewpoint.
• Conduct design technology co-optimization (DTCO) on technology features and foundation IP to maximize PPA.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Science/Engineering with 2-5 years of industry experience OR Master's degree in Science/Engineering with 1-4 years of industry experience.
• Industry experience in analog circuit design and layout, preferably on advanced technology nodes.
• Academic coursework on analog design from a reputed university covering CMOS/GAA fundamentals, device-technology interaction such as layout dependent effects, and factors affecting circuit PPA.
• Familiarity with industry tools for analog and custom design such as simulation tools (Spectre, Hspice), custom design (Virtuoso, Custom Compiler), and reliability (Voltus, Redhawk).
• Programming skills in a scripting language like Python, TCL, Perl, etc.

Nice to have

• Experience in using and building AI agentic flows.
