SMTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER

THE ROLE: 

This role demands strong technical expertise in PDN design, electromigration (EM), IR drop analysis, and power integrity, along with effective leadership skills to guide and mentor a team of engineers focused on power distribution and integrity solutions.

THE PERSON:

As the PDN Lead, you will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and optimizing the Power Delivery Network (PDN) for complex System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure that the PDN meets power integrity, signal integrity, and reliability requirements across advanced technology nodes.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

• Perform and lead in-depth electromigration (EM) and IR drop analysis for Soc designs, identifying areas of concern and implementing mitigation strategies to meet power integrity and reliability requirements.
• Work closely with physical design, package, and RTL teams to define PDN architecture, ensure robust power grid structures, and optimize on-chip decoupling.
• Develop, implement, and maintain EM/IR analysis flows and methodologies using tools like Synopsys RedHawk. Create and refine scripts to automate analysis and reporting tasks.
• Perform comprehensive signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) analysis across various operating modes and temperatures, collaborating with packaging and PCB design teams to ensure robust end-to-end PDN performance.
• Identify root causes of EM/IR issues, work with design teams to implement fixes, and ensure solutions are verified through simulations.
• Mentor junior engineers in EM/IR best practices, provide training on analysis tools, and share expertise on reliability issues

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Proficiency in PDN analysis and EDA tools such as Synopsys Redhawk, or equivalent tools for power and EM/IR analysis.
• Strong understanding of electromigration, IR drop, and power integrity challenges in modern SoC designs.
• Experience in power grid design, power/ground plane distribution, and decoupling strategies.
• Advanced scripting skills (Python, Tcl, Perl) for automation of PDN design flows and custom analysis tasks.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, excellent communication skills, and the ability to collaborate across multiple teams and disciplines.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
