TL;DR · Circuit Design Engineer

As a Circuit Design Engineer within the Silicon Engineering Group, you will join a hands-on development team focused on designing state-of-the-art ASICs and high-performance, low-power SOC components. You will be responsible for developing custom circuits to improve chip power efficiency, performing design analysis, modeling, simulation, and schematic capture while overseeing layout quality in collaboration with the layout team. Your daily work involves defining specifications with power teams and architects, as well as driving circuit methodologies to achieve high design quality metrics. The role requires expertise in low voltage custom circuits, deep submicron device physics, and proficiency in scripting languages like Python or Perl alongside CAD automation tools. You will specifically work on advanced digital megacells including SRAM memories, on-chip sensors, and machine learning accelerators to solve complex hardware integration challenges.

What you'll do

  • Design advanced custom digital megacells including SRAM memories, on-chip sensors, and ML accelerators.
  • Develop custom circuits specifically aimed at improving chip power efficiency.
  • Perform circuit analysis, modeling, simulation, and spice verification across PVT and statistical designs.
  • Define technical specifications and requirements in collaboration with power teams, physical design teams, and architects.
  • Oversee layout quality and work closely with the layout team to complete designs.
  • Develop and drive circuit methodologies to achieve high design quality metrics.
  • Utilize scripting languages and CAD automation tools to support silicon components.

What we're looking for

  • Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • Experience in the design of low voltage custom circuits.
  • Good understanding of deep submicron device physics, leakage mechanisms, and technology interactions with device behavior.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or Perl.
  • Proficiency in CAD automation tools.
  • Knowledge of industry standard circuit simulation and design tools.
  • Experience in areas like ML accelerators, SRAM circuits, non-volatile memories, or ultra-low power amplifiers is preferred.
