Backend Design Engineer - IC (Integrated Circuit)

We are seeking a talented and detail-oriented Backend Design Engineer to join our IC (Integrated circuit) development team. The role involves key aspects of Circuit Design/simulation of analog components (PLL & power management circuits etc.) and IP characterization of Digital Hard IPs. You will lead the design/development & characterization using your experience with industry-standard tools, and a passion for delivering high-quality semiconductor solutions.

You have:

• Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field (Masters preferred)
• 8+ years of experience in Circuit design, simulation and characterization of IPs & full custom circuits, functional simulations and statistical analysis.
• Experience with tape-out of designs for advanced nodes is highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of integrated circuit operation and CMOS fundamentals including process variation and statistical characterization at advanced process nodes 5nm 3nm etc.
• Proven expertise in IP characterization and Liberty modeling, a deep understanding of various Liberty formats including NLDM CCS ECSM LVF EM Aging and others.
• Experience with industry standard design & characterization solutions such as Virtuoso, Liberate or Siliconsmart/Primelib.
• Proficient in automation skills using Tcl Python and shell scripting to streamline characterization workflows.

It would be nice if you also had:

• Experience with Memory or Macro or AMS IP characterization is a plus.
• Familiarity with circuit design of PLLs & power management circuits, circuit testing & characterization is desirable.

• Design and implement high-performance circuits for frequency synthesis and clock generation.
• You will also work as an Engineer for Liberate, you will engineer innovative and quality characterization solutions/methods for foundational IPs, working closely with R&D and fellow engineers.
• Characterize parametric performance of High-Speed IO PHYs (SERDES), PLLs and other Custom/Foundational Hard-IPs.
• Work on different Liberty formats: NLDM, CCS, ECSM, LVF, EM, Aging etc.
• Contribute to industry-standard circuit simulators & perform characterization.
• Collaborate with design, verification, and research teams across the globe to resolve design challenges and improve performance.
• Work closely with foundry teams to address process technology issues and implement best practices
