TL;DR · Analog Simulation and Env Automation CAD Engineer

The Analog Simulation/Env Automation CAD Engineer joins the team of CAD engineers to develop and validate custom SPICE simulation flows, enhance design environments, and perform results data processing. This role involves solving transistor level simulation issues for analog, RF, and microwave applications using command-line and Virtuoso environments while building next-generation in-house EDA CAD flow solutions. The engineer will provide automation for rapid design needs and assist designers with tools like ADE, XL, Maestro, and OCEAN. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Perl, Python, Shell, and SKILL languages to drive innovation across various technology nodes. The work focuses on the critical domain of analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design, addressing challenges in simulation accuracy, speed, and capacity while collaborating with layout teams and third-party EDA tool vendors to ensure successful tape outs.

What you'll do

  • Develop and validate custom SPICE simulation flows for analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuits.
  • Solve transistor-level simulation issues using Spice simulators in command-line and Virtuoso environments.
  • Create automation flows and tools to improve the Analog Design Environment (ADE/XL, Maestro, OCEAN).
  • Develop next-generation in-house EDA CAD flow solutions for various technology nodes.
  • Analyze waveforms and process results data to support circuit design teams.
  • Establish methodologies for SPICE simulation and modeling techniques to advance technology nodes.
  • Evaluate EDA tool products and work with vendors to meet specific design requirements.
  • Provide automation scripts using Python, Perl, SKILL, or Shell to meet dynamic design needs.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience in SPICE simulation and design environments for Analog/RF circuit domains.
  • Programming and scripting skills in Perl, Python, SKILL language, or Shell.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams.
  • Domain experience in circuit simulations with Analog/RFIC design and CAD automation across various technology nodes (preferred).
  • Exposure to Cadence ADE environment including Virtuoso, PDK, CDF, Callbacks, Netlisting, and OCEAN tools (preferred).
  • Knowledge of SPICE simulators such as Spectre, Hspice, ADS, GoldenGate, and others (preferred).
  • Experience in device level SOA checks, statistical simulations, or evaluating EDA tool products (preferred).
