Hardware Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. With 5 years of experience in Circuit Design, Physical Design (RTL-to-GDS), or Technology Development, you are well-versed in advanced nodes such as 7nm or below. Your expertise includes custom circuit/IP and physical design, particularly in Place and Route (PNR) and Static Timing Analysis (STA). You are proficient in scripting and automation using Tcl and Python, and have experience with SPICE and transistor level design in advanced nodes. Your understanding of CMOS device physics, finfet/GAA/nanosheet architectures, and layout parasitics sets you apart.

You may also hold a Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, with a focus on computer architecture. You have experience working with major foundry technology files (PDKs), standard cell libraries, metal stacks, and other features. Your knowledge extends to the characterization and verification of standard cells/SRAMs/register files, including power, noise, variation, and IR analysis. You have a proven track record of delivering optimized custom circuits/memories/IPs and PNR blocks for product tapeout.
