The CAD team furthers and encourages continuous technical innovation to showcase successes as well as facilitate continuous career development. 

THE PERSON: 

The ideal candidate has good knowledge of EM/IR concepts for both analog (xtor-level) and digital (gate-level) designs and the associated EDA tools (Totem, Redhawk, Redhawk SC., Voltus, Voltus-Phy). Since this is a CAD role, the candidate should also be comfortable with object-oriented programming and scripting languages like Perl or Python. Preferred to also have experience debugging circuit behavior using spice or spectre/aps simulation. Finally, the candidate should be able to communicate effectively in a cross-functional role, possess strong organizational skills, and have a strong sense of teamwork

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Maintaining Perl-based CAD wrapper flows for transistor-level and gate-level EM/IR analysis.

• Providing tool/flow support to designers, helping them debug issues in their constraints or in their designs.
• Working with EDA tool vendors to drive bug-fixes and tool enhancements.
• Pioneering new CAD development on next generation flows and tools related to EM/IR
• Provide technical support to other teams 
   

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Good Background in EM/IR analysis with 3+ years in experience.
• Background in both digital and analog IC design
• Familiar with industry tools: Totem, Redhawk, Redhawk SC, Voltus, Voltus-Phy
• Familiar with object-oriented programming and scripting languages: Perl, Python, C-shell, TCL
