Summary

Can you influence, connect, get results and communicate effectively? Do you want to utilize your engineering background to make big things happen? Can you deliver on a predictable and dynamic schedule? As part of our Silicon Engineering group, you will take imaginative and revolutionary ideas and determine how to turn them into reality. You and your team will apply engineering fundamentals and start from scratch if needed, bringing forward-thinking ideas to the real world. Join us, and you will help design products that bring to our customers experiences they’ve never before envisioned.

You will work at an exciting silicon design group that is responsible for crafting state-of-the-art ASICs. We have an extraordinary opportunity for Technology Engineers. We are looking for a motivated engineer to fill a full-time position for RF Foundry Interface & Design Enablement.

Description

Imagine yourself at the center of our design efforts, collaborating with design teams and providing technology support, with a critical impact on getting functional products to millions of customers quickly.
Your main responsibilities on this role will be:

• Collaborate closely with internal design teams to translate key design metrics into technology offering requirement to the foundry to optimize product Power/Performance/Area.
• Participate and lead cross functional teams to solve key technology definition and design challenges
• Support local design teams on PDK components such as LVS, DRM/DRC, Spice models and tech files. Communicate PDK updates and corresponding impact analysis across design teams.
• Drive design methodology, including DFM and DFY activities with other teams.
• Verify design reliability and lifetime compliance by analyzing Safe Operating Area (SOA) and aging analysis results
• Develop methodology for Yield and die Cost projection of RF products.
• Recommend RF/ mmWave design guidelines and best practices to design teams.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Foundry, Design, Product Engineering) to drive technology decisions, optimize yield, close performance gaps during silicon validation. Ensure production readiness and provide continuous technology support in mass production.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience

Preferred Qualifications

• We are looking for applicants with at least 10 years of experience in semiconductor process R&D and manufacturing.

• Thorough understanding of deep sub-micron processes, device physics and process integration. Experience with processes for RF products and RF device characterization is preferred.

• Deep experience working with advanced CMOS node PDKs and collateral such as Spice models, DRM/DRC, LVS, RC tech files as well as Std cells and memory compilers.

• Design experience in advanced CMOS process, including strengths in transistor level circuit design.

• Excellent data analytical, problem solving and communication skills are required.

• People management skills and managerial experience is helpful.

• Prior experience in success of delivering new designs to production under very ambitious schedules.

• Self-motivated and schedule oriented is a requirement.
