Standard Cell Design Methodology & Flow Engineer
Imagine yourself at the center of our cutting-edge processor design in deep submicron technologies, and on standard cell library designs. You will have the opportunity to integrate and come-up with new insights, as well as work with a team of talent engineers. In this role on our custom circuits team, you will:
- Be the interface to internal CAD team for planning production flows and with foundry on PDK requirements.
- Collaborate with technology team on new process requirements and work with design/CAD team to enable relevant tools/flows
- Implement sophisticated digital block in Verilog/SystemVerilog, run simulations or formal check for verification.
- Use data analysis techniques and/or sophisticated Machine Learning models to study the circuit trends in timing, power, and area, and to potentially detect quality issues in large datasets.
