ARM Staff Standard Cell Design Engineer 

United States, Texas, Austin 

806379941

You will be responsible for the development of Arm custom standard cellsin the latest, sub-3nm process technology nodes. You will work as part of a team that co-optimizes the circuit design with physical design engineers to improve the PPA of Arm cores that will be integrated into best-in-class SoCs.

You'll work in close collaboration with the mask design team to provide optimally tuned layout, characterize and model all standard library views, and validate them through QA flows that use a variety of EDA tools.

• 8+ years of relevant circuit design experience (for BSEE) or 6+ years of relevant circuit design experience (for MSEE)
• Significant experience in the identification, design and verification of cells specifically targeted to improve core and SoC level PPA
• In-depth understanding of MOSFET electrical characteristics, transistor level device physics, PPA tradeoffs, layout and variability especially at 3nm and below technology nodes
• Expertise in transistor level design of static circuits including state retaining elements such as latches and flops
• Hands-on development of standard cell EDA view characterization, modeling and QA
• Experience with standard cell characterization tools and Spice circuit simulators
• Proficient in scripting languages such as Perl or Python
• Ability and willingness to proactively support the development of others
• Be willing to iteratively improve designs and repeatedly attempt to develop solutions to difficult problems
• Demonstrate a positive attitude and respect for all members of the team
• Ability to analyze data and present conclusions effectively
