TL;DR · IC Package Design Engineer

The IC Package Design Engineer joins the Packaging team to drive the physical design and integration of advanced semiconductor packages across SoC, memory, RF, and cellular technologies. This role involves leading package architecture, optimizing structure and configuration, and owning physical design from concept through tape-out. The engineer will perform physical layout of substrates for diverse silicon, execute parasitic extraction and S-parameter modeling to meet Signal and Power Integrity targets, and collaborate with cross-functional teams on system co-optimization. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Cadence Allegro or Mentor Xpedition, experience with Calibre and CAM350, and knowledge of high-speed interface constraints like DDR and PCIe. The role also requires expertise in substrate manufacturing processes, design for manufacturability, and utilizing Python, Perl, or TCL scripts within a Unix/Linux environment to automate design workflows and improve efficiency.

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 structure and configuration to meet system architecture and product design requirements.
  • Develop automated design and verification flows using scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL.
  • Evaluate new CAD tools and integrate AI technologies to improve design efficiency and quality.
  • Ensure designs meet manufacturing constraints including DRC, DFM, and substrate fabrication rules.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree.
  • 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • 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).
  • Expertise in high-speed interface layout constraints and Signal/Power Integrity analysis (preferred).
  • Experience with simulation tools like HFSS or PowerSI and parasitic extraction (preferred).
  • Knowledge of substrate manufacturing processes, design rules, and design for manufacturability (preferred).
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or TCL in a Unix/Linux environment (preferred).
