Senior Engineer - Standard Cell Design
Role Summary
Design and characterize standard cell libraries for new DRAM products and emerging process technologies. Collaborate with DTCO, characterization, and EDA teams to produce timing and power models and qualified liberty files.
Develop automation, testbench flows and tools to improve efficiency and data analysis; work with international colleagues and apply AI-based automation where appropriate.
Experience Level
Senior-level. Years of experience not specified.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include standard-cell design, characterization, modeling and automation:
- Design and maintain standard cells for new DRAM products and process nodes.
- Collaborate with DTCO to define standard-cell architecture for emerging technologies.
- Characterize standard cells and develop timing/power models (liberty files).
- Perform quality analysis of characterized models for performance, power and functionality.
- Develop automation testbenches, flows and tools to increase efficiency and support data analysis.
- Cooperate with international teams to develop flows and tools for standard-cell design.
- Identify opportunities for AI-based automation in design and characterization and collaborate across teams to deploy validated, scalable solutions.
Requirements
Must-have and preferred technical skills and tooling experience.
- Must-have: Good understanding of CMOS circuit design; good knowledge of CMOS device physics and layout; experience in standard-cell design, layout and verification; experience across the full standard-cell flow from DTCO/spec definition to library release; fine‑FET and planar process experience; RTL/GDS flow setup and block-level timing analysis experience; familiarity with timing and characterization tools such as PrimeTime and Solido Analytics; experience with analog/digital simulators (HSPICE, HSIM, Verilog HDL, FINESIM, Simvision); scripting and automation skills (Skill, TCL, Perl, Python); experience using AI-assisted tools for design and characterization with emphasis on correctness and validation.
- Preferred: Experience with Synopsys EDA flow (ICC2), Cadence Virtuoso, characterization tools such as SiliconSmart or Liberate, and prior work on DRAM memory or analog blocks.
- Good interpersonal and communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional and international teams.
