TL;DR · ESD & CAD Design Engineer

The ESD & CAD Design Engineer oversees both the CAD flow development and the ESD design methodology to ensure accurate, compliant processes while integrating robust protection principles into the design phase for sensitive electronic components. This role involves managing staff and projects, overseeing PERC and PathFinder flows, providing internal user support, and implementing tools for design automation, modeling, characterization, and IP releases. The candidate will perform design-level ESD analysis and simulations to predict failures while mentoring team members on advanced techniques. Required skills include proficiency in Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Primetime, Ansys Seascape, Redhawk, Totem PathFinder, Verilog, Calibre, Perl, Python, Skill, and TCL. The role addresses the technical challenge of integrating ESD-safe design principles into electronic product development while maintaining rigorous quality control and compliance with industry standards for semiconductor hardware.

What you'll do

  • Oversee CAD flow development and ESD design methodologies to ensure accurate, compliant design processes.
  • Manage the PERC and PathFinder flows while providing internal user support.
  • Lead, mentor, and supervise CAD team members on core skills and advanced design techniques.
  • Establish and document ESD design guidelines and best practices for product development.
  • Review and approve electronic designs to identify vulnerabilities and recommend modifications for ESD compliance.
  • Conduct design-level ESD analysis and simulations to predict and prevent component failures.
  • Implement internal and external tools for design automation, modeling, characterization, and IP releases.
  • Evaluate and integrate emerging CAD and ESD technologies into existing workflows to optimize productivity.

What we're looking for

  • MS in Engineering or similar degree.
  • Overall ESD and CAD experience.
  • Advanced proficiency in multiple CAD software platforms including Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Primetime, Ansys Seascape/Redhawk/Totem PathFinder, Verilog, and Calibre.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages like Perl and Python.
  • Knowledge of EDA specific languages such as Skill and TCL (preferred).
  • Solid understanding of ESD fundamentals, physics, principles, electronics design, and safety procedures.
  • Experience with file management systems, version control, and data management systems for CAD applications.
