Develops and tests Engineering Design Automation tools, creates flows/scripts to analyze and test design methodologies including driving new innovations to EDA tool vendors. Develop custom optimized solutions to address design requirements for leading-edge process technologies. Validate and drive continuous innovation of PDK technology, library files and other collaterals used for standard cell design, layout, and signoff with EDA CAD tools. Proficiency in benchmarking QOR and provide design guidance for better power optimization and/or techniques for frequency improvement and/or tool runtime improvement. Create flows/scripts to analyze, test and improve design methodologies, including through Machine Learning, and look for inefficiencies. Contribute to the development of multidimensional designs involving the layout of complex integrated circuits. Document and help with guidelines/specs. The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits: Good inter-personal, clear communication and good teamwork skills. A can-do attitude driven by research and thriving on challenges. Self-motivator with strong problem - solving skills. Willing to handle multiple projects simultaneously and prioritize to project timelines.

Qualifications: Candidate must have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering with 3+ years of experience - OR - a Master's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering with 2+ years of experience. Deep understanding of most, if not all Physical Design and Verification Tools, Flows and Methods used in VLSI back-end custom-transistor based designs. Expertise using industry standard Engineering Design Automation (EDA) VLSI tools from 1 or more of Synopsys, Cadence and/or Mentor Graphics in one of more of the following areas of: STA, Power, ECO, LVS, Power-rail integrity, Noise and/or ERC flows. Deep understanding and experience of signoff aspects in STA for timing closure (OCV, constraints, parasitics), LVS, Static Power Analysis or Signal integrity analysis (Noise, SI-crosstalk). Familiar with digital custom circuit transistor-level designs and topologies including dynamic circuit techniques and memories as well as SPICE models and netlists. Desire to deep-dive into timing paths, perform QOR difference analysis and identify key issues. Expertise with Linux environments and basic shell scripting. Expertise is a must in 1 or more scripting languages such as Python, Perl and/or Tcl. Knowledge in standard-cell liberty format syntax and digital circuit device-level SPICE modelling. Knowledge in standard formats from 1 or more of transistor-level netlist, standard parasitic formats and/or SDC constraints.- EDA tool Tcl API coding. Experience with advanced programming data structures. Preferred Qualifications: 1+ years of experience in one or more of the following: Cadence Virtuoso and/or SKILL coding. Leading/Mentoring junior team members or prior interns. Machine-learning/AI methods to solve complex problems dealing with automation of circuit design to aid in performance and power improvement. Timing and power ECO techniques and implementation.
