You will interact with our application engineers and provide guidance to customers. Additionally, you will participate in the generation of data books, application notes, and white papers.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Generate test benches and test cases.
• Perform RTL and gate-level SDF-annotated simulations and debug.
• May perform mixed-signal (digital + analog) simulations and debug.
• Interact with our application engineers and provide guidance to customers.
• Participate in the generation of data books, application notes, and white papers.
• Perform physical verification and design rule checks to ensure design integrity and manufacturability.
• Understand tools like VC Spyglass, Verdi, & views like SDF, Liberty, etc., and other frontend views.
• Write RTL Code, with solid Verilog, PERL, and Python skills, and TCL is a good addition.
• Understand static timing analysis and synthesis, DFT/ATPG skills would be a plus.
• Knowledge of any high-speed communication protocol is not mandatory but an asset.
• Previous knowledge in customer support and/or silicon bring-up is a plus.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Strengthen and develop forecasting capabilities based on improved monitoring capacity.
• Ensure high-quality and reliable silicon lifecycle monitoring solutions.
• Enhance quality assurance methodology by adding more quality checks/gatings.
• Support internal tools development and automation to improve productivity across ASIC design cycles.
• Work with design engineers on new tools/technology and new features evaluation and adoption.
• Contribute to the successful and smooth operation of the engineering teams.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
• 3 to 7+ years of experience in A&MS frontend and backend views & collaterals development flows.
• Proficiency in industry-standard EDA tools, such as Cadence Virtuoso or Synopsys Custom Compiler.
• Exceptional knowledge of layout design methods, techniques, and methodologies.
• Experience with physical verification tools, such as Calibre or Assura.
• Understanding of semiconductor process technologies and their impact on layout design.

Who You Are:

• Excellent problem-solving and systematic skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.
• Familiarity with Synopsys Tool set (such as FC/ICC2, Primetime, Formality, ICV).
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You will be part of a dynamic team focused on developing cutting-edge PVT Sensor IPs integral to Silicon lifecycle monitoring. This team collaborates closely with other engineering teams to ensure the highest quality and performance of our products.

Rewards and Benefits:

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
