Circuit Design Engineer, Standard Cell

What you'll do

• Design standard cell libraries and custom ROM modules in deep submicron technologies.
• Drive transistor-level circuit design, modeling, and performance analysis processes.
• Lead function and feasibility verification for new ROM designs.
• Establish new design flows and provide creative insights to enhance existing tools.
• Develop new simulations to perform design margin evaluations.
• Improve quality checks on standard cell libraries.
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams to identify opportunities for standard cell development.

What we're looking for

• MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of experience.
• Strong background in advanced submicron process issues.
• Deep understanding of the build and verification of conventional cell libraries and custom ROMs.
• Hands-on experience running SPICE simulations and capability to adapt to new simulation tools.
• Experience running EM/IR, aging, noise, margin, and high sigma variation simulations.
• Hands-on experience with DRC/LVS debug.
• Experience designing and optimizing flip flops, level shifters, latches, custom ROMs, register files, and SRAM.
• Strong proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, and Make (preferred).
• Exposure to standard cell, memory, or custom circuit development (preferred).
• Experience with RTL, logic synthesis, and familiarity with place and route (preferred).
• Prior leadership experience (preferred).
