TL;DR · Digital Circuit Design Engineer

As a Digital Circuit Design Engineer, you will join the logic and architecture team to design and implement custom digital circuits specifically for SRAM design. Your daily responsibilities include formulating design specifications, defining architectures and topologies to optimize power, timing, area, and yield, and performing schematic capture, simulations, and margin verifications. You will also conduct functional equivalency and DFT modeling, work with the layout team to create optimal GDS, perform backend verification including IR/EM, and write RTL to validate use-cases against design schematics. To succeed, you must utilize CAD tools like Cadence Virtuoso and Spice, perform Static Timing Analysis using PrimeTime, and apply techniques such as clock gating and power gating for circuit optimization. You will solve complex memory circuit challenges while supporting post-silicon efforts to ensure successful productization of high-performance hardware components.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement custom digital circuits specifically for SRAM design.
  • Formulate design specifications and define architectures that optimize power, timing, area, and yield.
  • Perform schematic capture, simulations, analysis, and margin verifications.
  • Conduct functional equivalency and DFT modeling for circuit designs.
  • Write RTL code and validate use-cases against design schematics.
  • Verify extracted GDS files to ensure they meet all design specifications.
  • Perform backend verification including IR and EM analysis.
  • Support post-silicon efforts to facilitate the successful productization of hardware.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical and Computer Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience using CAD tools including Cadence Virtuoso, Spice, and simulators for design entry and analysis.
  • Ability to debug simulation failures on CAD software for logical verification.
  • Knowledge of transistor physics for circuit optimization.
  • Proficiency in using clock gating and power gating for circuit power optimization.
  • Expertise in SRAM design to build and evaluate memory circuits.
  • Experience analyzing circuits and SPICE simulations to ensure robust operation.
  • Ability to use waveform viewers like Spice Explorer to verify circuit logic and timing.
  • Experience performing Static Timing Analysis using PrimeTime or similar tools.
