Staff Engineer, Advanced Packaging Development - Design Enablement & Layout

Job Title

Staff Engineer, Advanced Packaging Development - Design Enablement & Layout

Role Summary

Develop design rules, layout test vehicles, and validation structures for advanced packaging (TSV-based memory packaging). Collaborate with Process Integration, Product Engineering, Design, Advanced Mask, and CAD teams to enable robust layouts, DRC, and product/process qualification using data analysis and AI where appropriate.

Experience Level

Senior. The posting specifies 5+ years of semiconductor industry experience; role is at a staff/technical-lead level.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Develop and refine design rules, requirements, and test structures for advanced packaging.
• Create layout and DBR test vehicles and product designs to support technology development.
• Ensure robust Design Rule Checks (DRC) and manage responses to deviations.
• Analyze large datasets to extract actionable insights and support data-driven decisions.
• Apply artificial intelligence techniques to accelerate development and reduce cycle time.
• Manage structure evaluation and quantify process margins.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to resolve layout-related process issues and prioritize solutions.
• Document and communicate complex problem resolutions and drive cross-node design rule alignment.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• 5+ years in the semiconductor industry with experience in Process Integration, Yield Enhancement, Product Engineering, Design, Test Structure Development, or Unit Process Development.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor memory process flows and TSV-based packaging.
• Hands-on proficiency with EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso (layout and schematic), Calibre (DRC/LVS), and HSpice or equivalent simulation tools.
• Experience with design rule characterization and validation on silicon.
• Proficiency in programming for data analysis: Python, R, or MATLAB.
• Experience analyzing large datasets and applying results to development decisions.
• Proven problem-resolution and communication skills; experience with CAD interactions, data post-processing, and database/reticle data transfer.
• Nice-to-have: end-to-end experience across design, layout, verification, and tape-out; experience creating agentic workflows for layout verification.

Education Requirements

BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics, or a related technical field (specified in the posting).
