The Sr. IC Package Design Engineer joins the Silicon Engineering team to develop next-generation ASICs for space and ground infrastructures. This role involves leading packaging for custom in-house ASICs and RFICs used in digital beam formers and modems. Key responsibilities include owning package selection, BGA configuration, and package structure while performing layout, optimization, design verification, and tapeout. The engineer must simulate and optimize signal and power integrity and RF performance while coordinating with cross-functional groups on silicon floor plans and pin outs. Required skills include experience with IC package design, substrate design for RF and high-speed die, and tools like Cadence APD+/SIP. Proficiency in SIWave, HFSS, and ADS for EM simulation is preferred to solve complex connectivity problems in previously unavailable locations.
