Job Summary
We are seeking a senior Full-Chip EMIR / Power Integrity Engineer to lead the reliability analysis and sign-off closure for our next-generation, large-scale digital ASICs and SoCs. In this high-impact role, you will architect the full-chip Power Distribution Network (PDN), manage top-level bump/pad planning, and execute static and dynamic IR drop and electromigration (EM) analyses. You will aggregate block-level power models, analyze peak-current switching scenarios, and drive chip-package-board co-optimization to guarantee complete power delivery integrity and silicon reliability before tape-out.
Key Responsibilities
- Experience: 10+ years
- Experience with ASIC EM IR tools: RHSC and/or Voltus is MUST.
- Execute and sign off on full-chip and block-level static and dynamic IR drop analysis, power/signal electromigration (EM), and route EMIR
- Experience with advanced power delivery architectures such as Backside Power Delivery Networks (BSPDN) or 3D-IC / 2.5D chiplet integration.
- Familiarity with ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and latch-up full-chip verification constraints.
- Extensive experience with sub-5nm technology nodes (e.g., N5, N4, N3,
N2) where narrow metal pitches and high current densities severely amplify EMIR risks.
- Enabling ASIC EMIR tools for new process node and latest technology features. Detailed knowledge of EMIR concepts and working of ASIC EMIR tool is a must.
- Creating reference flows that act as test vehicles to evaluate tools and EM tech files, PDK collaterals (precisely RV techfiles).
- Develop and automate workflows to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of EM IR analysis. Any automation language is must (Preferably python, perl and tcl)
- Debug and troubleshoot design challenges related to EM IR, providing innovative solutions.
- Write good documents for ASIC EMIR flows and PDK. Train the users and design engineers on ASIC flows and tech file usage.
