TL;DR · IC Package Design Engineer

The IC Package Design Engineer joins the Packaging team to define, design, and integrate advanced electronic packaging solutions for internal and custom components. This role involves leading advanced package architecture and owning the physical design of Package, SiP, and module structures from concept through tape-out. Key responsibilities include performing physical layout for SoC, Memory, RF, and cellular integrated circuits while executing parasitic extraction and S-parameter modeling to meet Signal and Power Integrity targets. The engineer will utilize Cadence Allegro, Mentor Xpedition, Calibre, CAM350, HFSS, and PowerSI. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in substrate manufacturing, design for manufacturability, and high-speed interface layout constraints like DDR and PCIe. Additionally, the role requires using Python, Perl, or TCL scripting within Unix/Linux environments to automate design workflows.

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.
  • Own package and SiP physical design from initial concept through tape-out.
  • Optimize package structures and configurations to meet system architecture and electrical performance targets.
  • Develop automated design and verification flows using Python, Perl, or TCL to improve efficiency.
  • Evaluate and integrate new CAD tools and AI technologies to enhance design quality.
  • Ensure designs meet design rules (DRC) and design for manufacturability (DFM) standards.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree in a relevant field.
  • 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Proficiency in IC package physical design using Cadence Allegro or Mentor Xpedition platforms (preferred).
  • Knowledge of diverse package types such as SiP, PoP, and wirebond, and verification tools like Calibre or CAM350 (preferred).
  • Strong understanding of high-speed interface layout constraints (DDR, PCIe) and SI/PI analysis (preferred).
  • Experience with simulation tools like HFSS or PowerSI and parasitic extraction (RLGC, S-parameters) (preferred).
  • Solid grasp of substrate manufacturing processes, design rules (DRC), and design for manufacturability (DFM) (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Python, Perl, or TCL scripting within a Unix/Linux environment (preferred).
