Engineer - PDN

Job Title

Engineer - PDN

Role Summary

The PDN (Power Delivery Network) Engineer will develop and deploy electrical sign-off methodologies and implementation flows for SoC power distribution on advanced process nodes, including 2.5D/3D technologies.

The role sits in Solutions Engineering and works with implementation, verification and partner teams to convert R&D concepts into production-ready sign-off flows and analysis tools.

Experience Level

Entry-level — approximately 1–2 years of relevant industry experience.

Responsibilities

Deliver and maintain sign-off methodologies and flows for PDN and related analyses; collaborate with design teams and partners to improve implementation quality.

• Develop robust PDN sign-off flows for advanced nodes and 2.5D/3D integration.
• Perform Static and Dynamic Power Distribution analysis, EM/IR, and ESD sign-off activities.
• Design and deploy methodologies to improve implementation efficiency and yield.
• Support block- and top-level implementation and sign-off flows.
• Analyze data and develop data-mining techniques to guide implementation decisions.
• Translate R&D prototypes into reproducible, production-ready solutions.
• Collaborate with internal and external partners to enable high-quality results.

Requirements

Key must-have skills and practical experience for this role.

Must-have:

• 1–2 years experience in ASIC implementation, EM/IR, PDN, physical design or STA on advanced process nodes.
• Hands-on experience across the IC design flow from RTL to GDSII and with block/top-level implementation and sign-off.
• Proven scripting/programming skills (examples: Tcl, Perl, Python, Make).
• Problem-solving mindset and ability to drive methodology adoption across teams.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with Arm-based SoC architectures.
• Experience with additional languages/tools (C, C++, R, JavaScript, Ruby, shell scripting, data presentation tools).
• Knowledge of low-power design techniques (power gating, DVFS).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related technical field — or equivalent practical experience.
