Job Role- PDK Engineer
Location- Sunnyvale, CA (Onsite, Local Only)
Duration- 6 Months Contract
10 Years
Job Description:
Seeking an EDA/CAD Engineer to support and develop SiGe and CMOS design solutions for the high speed analog ASIC design team and chip design in the Optical Modules Group (OMG) The engineer will be hands-on with all phases of tool flow including PDK installation and support, tool support and installation, layout support, design support including schematic and simulation, design archive and tapeout.
The engineer must be an expert in analog and mixed-signal circuit design flows and tools. Tasks will include significant tool and PDK customization including SKILL and PCELL coding as well as design team support. The self-motivated engineer must be able to anticipate problems and devise effective solutions.
Job Responsibilities:
Install, customize and support external vendor PDK s for both SiGe and CMOS processes
Install, customize and support Custom IC and RF CAD tools for the design of high-speed (10 40 Gb/s), broad-band, mixed-signal, integrated circuits for fiber-based wireline applications.
Execute and support layout efforts including DRC/LVS user support and archive and tapeout processes
Minimum Expertise Requirements:
Expert in high-speed analog and mixed-signal IC design concepts and must demonstrate superior critical thinking skills, problem solving capabilities and engineering judgment.
Fluent with analog EDA front and back end tools
FlexLM license management
Strong UNIX/Linux knowledge
Not Required But Preferred
5 years of experience working as a high-speed analog & mixed signal IC CAD professional is required
IC Technologies: High-speed IC technologies, including CMOS and bipolar.
IC Design Software:
Work Environment: Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Must be strong individual contributor, and also able to work as member of a small team. Must be able to support EPDA users and solve problems efficiently, effectively and rapidly.
