Join our world-class Digital Design Engineering team as a Standard Cell Design Methodology & Flow Engineer, where you will play a pivotal role in transforming innovative ideas into cutting-edge processor designs. Working closely with the custom digital circuits team and library development, your responsibilities include interfacing with internal CAD teams to plan production flows and collaborating with foundries on PDK requirements. You will implement sophisticated digital blocks using Verilog/SystemVerilog and conduct simulations for verification while leveraging data analysis techniques and machine learning models to study circuit trends and detect quality issues in large datasets. This role requires expertise in library characterization, timing/power modeling, and experience with EDA tools such as spice simulation and formal verification, along with proficiency in Python/TCL/Perl for flow automation.

What you'll do

  • Define and plan production flows for internal CAD teams and coordinate PDK requirements with foundries.
  • Develop new insights and integrate them into standard cell library designs, enhancing processor performance.
  • Implement digital blocks in Verilog/SystemVerilog and conduct simulations or formal checks to ensure verification accuracy.
  • Analyze circuit trends using data analysis techniques and machine learning models to identify quality issues early.
  • Automate standard cell development flows to improve efficiency and streamline the integration process.

What we're looking for

  • At least 10 years of relevant industry experience in digital design engineering.
  • Extensive experience in standard cell library designs, including timing/power modeling.
  • Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog for implementing complex digital blocks.
  • Expertise in data analysis and machine learning for quality assurance in large datasets.
  • Strong skills in flow automation using Python/TCL/Perl for efficient execution.
  • Knowledge of EDA tools for characterization, synthesis, place-route, and formal verification.
  • Understanding of device physics and process technology in deep submicron technologies.
