Job Description We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Microelectronic Design Engineer to join our semiconductor design team. You will be responsible for the design, development, simulation, and validation of advanced semiconductor devices and chip-scale systems for next-generation applications. 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
