THE ROLE:

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Silicon Design Engineer to join our AECG SIT team. This role involves leading and contributing to the design, integration, and characterization of advanced silicon testchips for FPGA products across cutting-edge process nodes.

THE PERSON:

You are an expert in IC design and manufacturing including analog/digital IP integration, chip design, silicon process or packaging technologies. A good understanding of foundry technology PDK, device physics, reliability and silicon chip manufacturing is essential. The candidate must also demonstrate effective communication, good interpersonal skills, along with a strong interest in emerging technologies and innovation.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Facilitate the design and seamless integration of custom digital and analog blocks.
• Support functional, timing and EMIR verification of IP blocks in custom design flow.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with layout designers, IC design teams, foundry partners, CAD engineers, and test teams to ensure seamless integration and execution.
• Develop end-to-end test solutions, including board-level and system-level design, for advanced test vehicle initiatives.
• Assist with the bring-up and debugging of testchip silicon in lab environments.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Strong foundation in circuit design and semiconductor device physics and reliability.
• Hands-on experience in designing and validating circuits across advanced technology nodes such as FinFET and Gate-All-Around.
• Working knowledge of digital P&R design and verification.
• Working knowledge of 2.5D and 3D stacked silicon and advanced package assembly technologies.
• Experience with usage of major EDA tools for device model, layout, circuit simulation, parasitic extraction, and physical verification.
• Working knowledge of PCB/package design and signal/power integrity (SI/PI) analysis.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python for programming and scripting tasks. Exposure to AI-based coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up and lab bench test equipment.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Preferably holds an advanced degree (PhD or MS) in electrical & electronics engineering or physical sciences; alternatively, a bachelor's degree with 5+ years of relevant industry experience is acceptable.

LOCATION: San Jose, California
