TL;DR · Senior Circuit Design Engineer, Power Modeling and Simulation

As a Senior Circuit Design Engineer - Power Modeling and Simulation within the Circuits Solutions Group, you will join a global team to design innovative power delivery and management solutions for processors in deep submicron technologies. You will model and simulate analog and digital circuits and systems across various levels of abstraction, specifically focusing on power delivery networks from die level to platform level. Your daily work involves performing block-level and system-level simulations to ensure reliability, performance, and stability while mentoring junior team members. Required expertise includes modeling and simulation using Matlab, Simulink, Simplis, Spice, verilogAMS, mixed-signal RTL+spice, s-parameters, and tools like Ansys or Sigrity. You will also utilize EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and Allegro alongside HSpice, Spectre, Primesim, and XA to solve complex power delivery challenges for CPU and GPU designs.

What you'll do

  • Design innovative power delivery and power management solutions for processors in deep submicron technologies.
  • Model and simulate analog and digital circuits across various levels of abstraction and complexity.
  • Model and simulate power delivery networks (PDN) from the die level to the platform level.
  • Perform block-level and system-level simulations to ensure design reliability, performance, and stability.
  • Improve netlist and timing quality for high-performance processor designs.
  • Serve as a technical lead and mentor for junior team members.

What we're looking for

  • BSEE degree or equivalent experience is required.
  • MS or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering is preferred.
  • 6+ years of experience modeling and simulating digital and analog circuits and systems.
  • Experience with power delivery networks (PDN) from die level to platform level.
  • Experience with electromagnetic simulation tools such as Ansys or Sigrity.
  • Proficiency in modeling and simulation using Matlab/Simulink, Simplis, Spice, verilogAMS, mixed-signal RTL+spice, and s-parameters.
  • Familiarity with EDA tools like Cadence Virtuoso and Allegro, and circuit simulation tools like HSpice, Spectre, Primesim, or XA.
  • PhD degree.
