The Hardware Engineer joins the Central Engineering Design Correlation team to perform silicon technology evaluation in advanced process nodes for IP and product designs. This role involves assessing foundry technology offerings, defining new technology platforms, performing risk assessments, and providing insights into design and process-technology interactions during co-development. Daily responsibilities include test structure layout, verification, extraction, simulation, and silicon characterization to ensure the robustness of technology platforms. The candidate will also conduct PPAC assessment and benchmarking while ensuring EDA and RCX tool quality. Key technical requirements include expertise in advanced CMOS technology, including FEOL, MEOL, and BEOL, as well as experience with FINFET or GAA nodes. Necessary skills involve spice simulation, DC/AC/RF characterization, data analysis, and proficiency in both analog and digital design flows using various CAD tools to support IP and chip teams.
Evaluate foundry technology offerings to assess risk and define new platforms for IP and product designs.
Perform PPAC (power, performance, area, cost) assessments and benchmarking for advanced process nodes.
Design, verify, and extract test structures for silicon characterization and model-to-silicon correlation.
Conduct quality assurance of designs and tape-outs to ensure alignment with IP and product requirements.
Evaluate the quality and predictability of EDA and RCX tools.
Assess custom device infrastructure readiness and robustness across advanced technology nodes.
Provide design communities with insights into design and process-technology interactions during co-development.
Coordinate with foundry partners and internal teams to ensure the robustness of new technology platforms.
What we're looking for
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a related field.
8+ years of experience after BS, 6+ years after MS, or 3+ years after PhD with recent work in advanced FINFET (or GAA) nodes.
Strong background in advanced CMOS technology (FEOL, MEOL, BEOL) including understanding of design-technology interactions.
Proficiency in interacting with design teams and foundry partners.
Familiarity with analog and digital design flows and CAD tools.
Hands-on experience with device/circuit level test structure designs, verification (DRC, LVS), extraction, spice simulation, silicon characterization, and data analysis.
Excellent detail orientation, communication, and multitasking skills.
