TL;DR · CAD Engineer, Silicon Learning and Static Timing Analysis

As a CAD Engineer, Silicon Learning and Static Timing Analysis within the Silicon Technologies group, you will analyze silicon performance data to improve static timing analysis tools, flows, margins, and design closure methodologies. You will collaborate with design teams, DFT, CAD, and product engineering to design experiments, mine data to establish correlation metrics for design closure activities, and develop methodologies to optimize power and performance tradeoffs on leading edge semiconductor technology nodes. The role requires proficiency in C, Perl, Python, or Tcl coding and debugging. Preferred skills include experience with Primetime, Tempus, Tetramax, Tessent, and physical design. You will also apply fundamentals of statistics, hypothesis testing, data mining, Machine Learning, and Design of Experiments to solve complex challenges related to advanced silicon performance, battery life optimization, and hardware design closure for high-performance systems.

What you'll do

  • Analyze silicon performance data to improve static timing analysis tools, flows, and design closure methodologies.
  • Mine and analyze silicon data to establish correlation metrics for design closure activities.
  • Develop and deploy design closure margins to optimize power and performance tradeoffs.
  • Design experiments and analyze results in collaboration with design, DFT, CAD, and product engineering teams.
  • Refine design methodologies applied across all silicon designs at the company.
  • Implement advanced technology node optimizations to improve battery life and device performance.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and at least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Coding experience in one or more of C, Perl, Python, or Tcl.
  • Experience in static timing analysis, DFT, physical design, failure analysis, or CAD (preferred).
  • Static Timing Analysis with Primetime, Tempus, or equivalent tools (preferred).
  • Advanced coding and debugging skills in C, Perl, Python, or Tcl with an understanding of advanced technology nodes (preferred).
  • Knowledge of statistics, hypothesis testing, data mining, Machine Learning, and Design of Experiments (preferred).
  • Prior exposure to DFT, Tetramax, Tessent, silicon debug, or semiconductor processing (preferred).
