Your Team, Your Impact

In this role, you will be part of the Central Engineering team playing a key role in delivering Foundational IP solutions to various SOCs (System On Chips) for a wide range of products. We are developing IPs and enabling the latest advances in mobile computing, wireless network, secured connected devices, autonomous driving, smart homes and many more.

What You Can Expect

• Your key responsibilities will include developing custom circuits solutions to cater to the various customer requirements for multiple technology nodes ranging from 45nm to 2nm across major foundry platforms.
• The role includes the responsibilities to understand customer's need and come-up with the best feasible solutions, owning the development from the initial design phase through final deliverables, collaborate with test team with test strategy and validate the H/W results, failure analysis, issue root cause determination, and the development of corrective actions.
• Design and deliver custom circuit for memory or security IPs supporting industry standards and custom specifications including the generation and delivery of final EDA views for the IPs. These IPs includes Power switch, SRAM, Physical Unclonable Function (PUF).
• Design and deliver the custom analog circuits to customer specifications including the generation and delivery of final EDA views for the IP. The custom/analog circuits include amplifiers, Bandgap, ADC/DAC, and LDOs power switches, biasing blocks, over-voltage/over-current protection circuits, power-switches, ESD protection circuits and a range of closed loop feedback circuits.
• Provide the required technical guidance and support to SOCs, and test chips for the IP qualification.
• Create clear documentation of design & product development activities to ensure high quality designs & to support dissemination of important design information to cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree and/or PhD in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Microelectronics or related fields and 5-10 years of related professional experience.
• Advanced knowledge of various memory product development, on-chip ESD protection circuit design.
• Expertise in custom circuit design, handling layout effect in advanced FinFET process design rules, process variability and circuit reliability issues that affect power, speed, area, and yield.
• In depth understanding of transistor level CMOS analog circuit design and basic building like bandgap, current mirrors, op-amps, feedback circuits etc.
• Prior experience of successfully designing high performance SRAM memories, Register file memories, SRAM compilers, data path designs and standard cells will be highly advantageous.
• Advanced knowledge of CAD design tools such as Cadence to perform various simulation, extraction, Monte Carlo, and Corner analysis.
• Applicant should have sufficient design experience to be able to effectively own, derive design specifications from the requirements, review circuit and layout designs.
• Advanced knowledge of the industry ESD test standards.
• Requires effective communication between multiple sites and ability to work with multiple groups.
