Contract Duration: 6 months contract Responsibilities:
We are looking for a senior IC EDA/CAD Engineer to own and advance our EDA design flows, IT infrastructure, and signoff methodologies. You will be the technical authority on our EDA environment, setting up and maintaining advanced FinFET PDKs (e.g., 2nm or 3nm), Cadence analog/mixed-signal design flows, and digital implementation environments. You will play a critical role in ensuring first-time-right silicon by developing, deploying, and supporting industry-standard backend signoff flows across RF, Analog, High-Speed IO, and Digital SoC chips.
Requirements:
• PDK & Environment Setup: Install, qualify, and maintain advanced foundry PDKs (2nm/3nm FinFET nodes) and manage the use of the underlying IT infrastructure, compute clusters and grid utilization, license utilization.
• Analog/Mixed-Signal Flow Development: Establish, optimize, and support the Cadence Design Systems front-to-back design environment (Virtuoso, Innovus) tailored for RF, analog, and high-speed IO interfaces.
• Physical Verification & Signoff: Create, automate, and maintain robust chip-level and IP signoff flows using Siemens Calibre for DRC/LVS and Synopsys StarRC for parasitic extraction.
• Advanced Reliability Verification: Deploy and support Electro-migration/IR-drop (EMIR) simulation flows and Programmable Electrical Rule Checking (PERC) to guarantee reliability at advanced nodes.
• Automation & Support: Develop and maintain scripts and utilities that eliminate manual toil, standardize flows across projects, and reduce tool integration friction; act as the primary interface to EDA vendors for issue escalation and roadmap alignment. |
