Senior Engineer - PDN

Job Title

Senior Engineer - PDN

Role Summary

Develop and deploy power-delivery (PDN) sign-off methodologies and implementation analyses for advanced SoC designs. Work with internal design teams and external partners to improve silicon quality, implementation efficiency, and sign-off confidence for nodes including 2.5D/3D technologies.

Experience Level

Senior — the posting specifies 4+ years of relevant ASIC implementation and PDN/EM/IR experience.

Responsibilities

Deliver production-ready sign-off methodologies and support implementation and sign-off flows.

• Develop PDN sign-off flows for advanced process nodes and 2.5D/3D integration.
• Perform static and dynamic PDN analysis, IR-drop and electro-migration (EM) analysis, and ESD analysis.
• Create and deploy methodologies to improve implementation efficiency and yield.
• Support top- and block-level design implementation and sign-off flows.
• Convert R&D concepts into practical implementation solutions and tooling.
• Provide methodology transfer and enablement for partner teams to improve quality of results.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 4+ years' experience in ASIC implementation, PDN/EM/IR analysis, physical design, and STA on advanced nodes.
• Practical knowledge of the full IC design flow from RTL through GDSII and experience in top/block level sign-off.
• Proven scripting/programming skills (examples: Tcl, Perl, Python, Make).
• Experience developing and adopting silicon implementation techniques and promoting their use across international teams.
• Strong initiative, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with Arm-based SoCs.
• Experience with additional languages/tools (C/C++, R, JavaScript, shell scripting, Ruby, data presentation tools).
• Experience with low-power design techniques (power gating, voltage/frequency scaling).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or other relevant technical field as stated in the posting.
