TL;DR · IC Package Design Engineer

The IC Package Design Engineer joins the Packaging team to design and integrate advanced electronic packaging solutions for internal and custom components across various product lines. This role involves leading package architecture, optimizing structure and configuration, and owning physical design from concept through tape-out for SoC, memory, RF, and cellular technologies. Day-to-day responsibilities include performing physical layout of substrates, executing parasitic extraction and S-parameter modeling to meet Signal and Power Integrity targets, and collaborating with cross-functional teams on system co-optimization. The role requires proficiency in Cadence Allegro or Mentor Xpedition, knowledge of Calibre and CAM350, and experience with HFSS or PowerSI. Candidates should possess skills in Python, Perl, or TCL for automation within Unix/Linux environments while applying expertise in high-speed interface constraints like DDR and PCIe to solve complex integration challenges.

What you'll do

  • Perform physical layout of package substrates for SoC, Memory, RF, and cellular integrated circuits.
  • Execute parasitic extraction and S-parameter modeling to validate Signal and Power Integrity performance targets.
  • Own the physical design of packages, SiPs, and modules from initial concept through tape-out.
  • Optimize package structures and configurations to meet system architecture requirements.
  • Develop automated design and verification flows using scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL.
  • Evaluate new CAD tools and AI technologies to improve design efficiency and quality.
  • Ensure designs meet manufacturing constraints including DRC and DFM standards.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree required.
  • Experience in IC package physical design using Cadence Allegro or Mentor Xpedition platforms (preferred).
  • Knowledge of diverse package types such as SiP, PoP, and wirebond (preferred).
  • Proficiency with verification tools like Calibre or CAM350 (preferred).
  • Expertise in high-speed interface layout constraints for DDR and PCIe (preferred).
  • Experience with SI/PI analysis using simulation tools like HFSS or PowerSI (preferred).
  • Knowledge of substrate manufacturing processes, DRC, and DFM (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Python, Perl, or TCL within a Unix/Linux environment to automate design tasks (preferred).
