TL;DR · SoC Physical Design Engineer, Electrical Analysis

As a senior member of the SoC physical design team, the SoC Physical Design Engineer, Electrical Analysis will drive electrical analysis and verification for an SoC at both the block and chip levels. The role involves performing critical analyses including Gridcheck, ESD, Static/Dynamic IR, EM, Noise, and Signal EM. This position requires collaborating with CAD, library, circuit technology, and system teams to manage flow evaluation, bring-up, validation, and qualification during the chip development cycle. Additionally, the engineer will support the implementation team with EMIR test planning and sign-off closure for tape-out while managing cross-functional engineering schedules. Required expertise includes low-power circuit design, computer architecture, and digital systems. Preferred skills include experience with Redhawk, PrimeRail, Voltus, Innovus, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, Tempus, and SPICE for solid-state digital circuit systems and power integrity signoff.

What you'll do

  • Perform electrical analyses at the block or chip level, including Gridcheck, ESD, IR, and EM.
  • Drive EMIR test planning and analysis support throughout the entire chip design cycle.
  • Manage sign-off closure for tape-out requirements regarding power integrity.
  • Evaluate technology flows and perform bring-up, validation, and qualification for SoC development.
  • Automate and debug verification flows for digital VLSI designs.
  • Manage project schedules and coordinate cross-functional engineering efforts for SoC product development.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum BS degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Knowledge of low-power circuit design, computer architecture, and/or digital systems.
  • Experience with industrial EDA backend tools including Redhawk, PrimeRail, and Voltus (preferred).
  • Experience with ASIC or AMS physical implementation and analysis flow for IP blocks and SoC fullchip (preferred).
  • Proficiency in automating and debugging verification flows for digital VLSI design (preferred).
  • Experience with Innovus, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, and Tempus (preferred).
  • Familiarity with voltage drop budgeting, low-power design techniques, and sign-off criteria for solid-state digital circuit systems (preferred).
  • Experience in multiple design tape-outs regarding power integrity signoff and a circuit design background with SPICE experience (preferred).
