TL;DR · CAD Electromagnetic RFIC Simulation Engineer

As a CAD Electromagnetic RFIC Simulation Engineer, you will join the CAD organization to shape next-generation electromagnetic analysis methodologies for advanced RFIC and multi-die designs. You will apply first-principles understanding of Maxwell’s equations and field theory to develop and validate EM simulation flows using Finite Element and Method of Moments techniques. Your daily responsibilities include maintaining and supporting leading vendor 3D solvers, streamlining and automating SOC EM analysis CAD flows, and collaborating with design groups on requirements for post layout flows. You will work with EDA vendors and foundries for tool qualification and debugging. The role requires proficiency in Tcl, Python, or Perl scripting, along with experience in extraction, timing, noise, and physical design. Technical expertise includes tools like HFSS, Clarity, Momentum, and ADS to ensure signal integrity across advanced packaging and 3DIC systems.

What you'll do

  • Maintain and support state-of-the-art Finite-Element 3D and Method-of-Moments electromagnetic solvers.
  • Streamline and automate the entire SoC EM analysis CAD flow.
  • Develop and validate EM simulation flows using first-principles of Maxwell’s equations and field theory.
  • Model complex package and interposer structures to extract high-accuracy S-parameters.
  • Ensure signal integrity, coupling, and shielding performance for advanced packaging and 3DIC systems.
  • Collaborate with design groups to address electromagnetics requirements for post-layout flows.
  • Work with EDA vendors and foundries for tool qualification, debugging, and enhancement.
  • Develop large-scale software and scripts using Python, Tcl, Perl, or other programming languages.

What we're looking for

  • Must have a Bachelor of Science degree.
  • Must have at least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience in EDA tools, CAD flow, and RFIC methodology is required.
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting language such as Tcl, Python, or Perl is required.
  • Experience in electromagnetics analysis including extraction, timing, noise, simulation, physical design, and verification is required.
  • Knowledge of industry leading EM solvers like HFSS, Clarity, Helic/VeloceRF, EMX, Q3D, VRF, Momentum, or ADS is preferred.
  • Experience developing large scale software in multi-tech, multi-user, and multi-site environments is preferred.
  • Proficiency in additional programming languages such as Shell, SKILL, C, or C++ for methodology debugging is preferred.
