TL;DR · Custom Circuits Design Engineer

As a Custom Circuits Design Engineer at our Digital group, you will join an innovative silicon design team responsible for creating cutting-edge ASICs used in high-performance, low-power systems-on-chip (SOC). Your role involves developing custom digital megacells such as SRAM memories and machine learning accelerators to enhance chip power efficiency. You will collaborate closely with the power team, physical designers, and architects to define specifications and requirements while performing detailed design, analysis, simulation, and verification tasks across various process voltage temperature conditions. Additionally, you’ll work hand-in-hand with layout engineers to ensure high-quality designs and develop methodologies for achieving top-tier design metrics. Ideal candidates possess experience in low-power custom circuit design, deep submicron device physics, and scripting languages like Python or Perl, along with a solid understanding of mixed-signal verification tools and industry-standard CAD automation software.

What you'll do

  • Develop custom circuits to enhance chip power efficiency.
  • Define specifications and requirements with the power team, PD, and architects.
  • Perform comprehensive modeling/simulation and verification across PVT conditions.
  • Ensure high-quality layout by working closely with the layout team.
  • Drive circuit methodology to achieve top design quality metrics.

What we're looking for

  • Experience designing custom circuits for advanced technology nodes.
  • Expertise in low voltage/low power custom circuits and high precision designs.
  • Proficient in machine learning accelerators, SRAM circuits, and non-volatile memories.
  • Deep understanding of deep submicron device physics and leakage mechanisms.
  • Ability to conduct silicon debug experiments and analyze data effectively.
  • Familiarity with mixed signal verification and behavioral models for blocks.
