As a Custom Design Automation Engineer at the heart of our silicon design group, you will play a pivotal role in designing state-of-the-art ASICs by collaborating with various engineering disciplines. Your daily responsibilities include automating custom analysis flows to fix design margins and building memory compiler technologies for large SoC designs. You will also debug issues for digital IP designers, define QA checks for EDA views of SRAM and register files, and collaborate with the CAD team to optimize design methodologies. Additionally, you’ll apply machine learning techniques to enhance automation processes and ensure efficient design flows. This role requires a strong background in custom transistor-level circuits and SRAM designs, along with proficiency in programming languages such as SKILL, Perl, Python, TCL, and Shell. You must possess solid knowledge of industry-standard circuit simulators, debug tools, and STA tools, and be adept at providing automations for rapid design needs.
