We’re searching for an experienced Circuit Design & Analysis engineer with a background in custom circuit design & analysis, system level thermal & power analysis with a proven track record of handling challenges at scale. In this role, you’ll be working directly with product engineers, signal & power integrity engineers and physical design experts - defining best practices, driving correlation of pre-silicon simulation of thermal & power integrity to post silicon analysis and developing custom circuits that help raise the bar in implementing state-of-the-art machine learning hardware.
Key job responsibilities
- Design and implement custom cells / IP.
- Develop & run characterization flows for custom cells / IP developed.
- Own integration & post-silicon qualification of IPs like PLL, PCIE, UCIE, HBM, sensors/monitors.
- Develop scripts to automate running analysis and collect reports.
- Develop test-plan and perform measurements in the lab to correlate with simulation data.
A day in the life
Depending on the state of the project, you may find yourself working on the following:- Evaluate IPs (like sensors, process monitors) from a 3rd party
- Develop an characterize custom IPs like ganged buffers, custom logic cells for specialized operations (like MACs)
- Work with designers and architects to identify pain-points and areas where custom solutions can improve PPAS
- Do post-silicon quality checks for key IP like PLLs, UCIE/PCIE, HBM
- Do post-silicon power measurements of jitter, sensor calibration, power and correlate with simulation

- BS + 8yrs or MS + 6yrs or PhD + 3yr in EE/CS
- Expertise on circuit level analysis using tools like SPICE / SPECTRE
- Expertise in interconnect & transistor fundamentals in deep sub-micron processes
- Understanding of ASIC Physical Design from RTL-to-GDSII
- Understanding of other sign-off activities (ir/em, physical verification, timing closure, DFT)
- 3+ years of scripting experience with Tcl, Perl or Python
