Your Team, Your Impact

Work Across on the creation and optimization of customizable memory instances and compilers (SRAM, Register Files, etc.) for chips, defining architectures, driving PPA (Performance, Power, Area), mentoring teams, and ensuring integration, requiring deep expertise in custom analog/digital design, EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsys), and scripting for automation, often with experience in advanced nodes and foundry/vendor collaboration.

What You Can Expect

Own the design and implementation of at least one major sub-circuit block, from architecture definition to fine-tuning. Perform schematic entry using Cadence Virtuoso, conduct circuit simulations with Spectre, MDL, and post-layout tools, and verify designs using Verilog. Develop SRAM views, including timing characterization. Conduct statistical analysis (Monte Carlo) across Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) variations. Identify and propose innovative solutions to enhance power-performance-area metrics. Collaborate with the physical design team to create optimal GDS layouts. Partner with the Hardware and Silicon Validation Team for silicon evaluation. Analyze, summarize, document, and present results effectively.

What Were Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. 3+ years of hands-on experience in digital circuit design, with a focus on custom memory circuit design (sense amps, periphery), analog/digital CMOS, semiconductor physics, DFT, Verilog/VHDL, scripting (Perl/Python/TCL).
• Tools: Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys tools (Design Compiler, PrimeTime), HSPICE, Spectre, solido.
• Experience: Deep sub-micron nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm), compiler IP development, foundry PDKs, memory characterization.
