This role requires deep expertise in chip-scale design, microelectronics architecture, and circuit-level implementation, with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams and work on cutting-edge chip designs.

Responsibilities

Design and develop microelectronic circuits and systems at the chip scale level, from concept through production, for high-performance applications
Perform schematic capture, circuit simulations, modeling, and analysis using industry-standard tools
Execute layout design, place and route, parasitic extraction, and timing analysis of integrated circuits
Conduct physical design verification (DRC, LVS) and design validation, debugging, and performance optimization
Collaborate with system architects, device engineers, fabrication teams, verification engineers, manufacturing partners, and test engineers to ensure successful product development
Optimize designs for performance, power consumption, area, and cost
Implement design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for testability (DFT) best practices
Support silicon bring-up, characterization, and failure analysis
Troubleshoot design issues and implement corrective actions
Develop and document technical specifications, design schematics, and comprehensive technical reports
Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous process improvement
Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends in semiconductor design and microfabrication

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field
5 years of hands-on, direct experience in chip-scale design and layout
Proven experience in microelectronic circuit design (analog, digital, or mixed-signal)
Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics)
Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics, device modeling, IC fabrication processes, and circuit theory
Experience with CMOS design and manufacturing processes
Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills
Excellent written and verbal communication abilities
Familiarity with verification methodologies and simulation tools

Preferred Qualifications

Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
Experience with advanced nodes (e.g., FinFET, CMOS scaling technologies, 5nm or below)
Knowledge of RF design, high-speed signal integrity, or high-speed interconnect circuits
Experience working with ASICs, SoCs, or FPGA-based prototyping
Experience with power delivery network (PDN) design
Familiarity with packaging and chip integration technologies
Experience with static and dynamic power analysis
Prior experience supporting government, defense, or regulated industry programs
