As a Circuit Design Automation Engineer within the Digital Design Engineering group, you will play a strategic role in a processor design effort focused on developing state-of-the-art ASICs. You will be responsible for automating custom analysis flows to fix design margins and building and maintaining memory compiler technologies for large SoC designs. Your daily work involves debugging issues for digital IP designers, developing QA checks for SRAM and register files, and collaborating with CAD teams to optimize timing and power methodologies. To succeed, you must possess expertise in transistor level circuits, SRAM designs, and machine learning applications for flow optimization. Required technical skills include proficiency in SKILL, Perl, Python, TCL, and Shell, alongside a solid understanding of circuit simulators, STA tools, and EMIR analysis to support rapid and dynamic design needs.

What you'll do

  • Automate custom analysis flows to fix design margins.
  • Build and maintain memory compiler technologies for large SoC designs.
  • Debug and provide rapid solutions for digital IP designers and users.
  • Develop QA checks to verify EDA views of SRAM and register files.
  • Optimize design flows and timing/power methodologies for SRAM designs.
  • Apply machine learning techniques to optimize flows and QA checks.
  • Provide automation tools to meet rapid and dynamic design requirements.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree.
  • Minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Fundamentals in custom transistor level circuits and SRAM designs.
  • Proficiency in programming languages including SKILL, Perl, Python, TCL, and Shell.
  • Understanding of industry standard circuit simulator, debug tools, and STA tools.
  • Knowledge of timing, power, noise, and EMIR analysis.
  • Ability to develop automations for rapid and dynamic design needs.
  • Ability to collaborate with teams to define and maintain design flows and tools.
