- Developing and qualifying Interface Testchips, ensuring comprehensive ESD and Latch-Up validation to meet global customer requirements.
- Running ESD simulations by building detailed ESD networks and performing advanced analyses to ensure design integrity.
- Applying foundry-provided PERC (Physical Verification Rule Check) rules and using PERC check tools to validate compliance and enhance design quality.
- Collaborating closely with foundry partners, design, and layout teams to ensure timely and effective integration of ESD and LU solutions.
The Impact You Will Have:
- Elevating the reliability and performance of Synopsys’ interface IPs, directly influencing the success of global semiconductor customers.
- Driving innovation in analog circuit design for next-generation silicon technologies, helping Synopsys maintain its leadership in the industry.
- Reducing field failures and increasing product longevity by delivering robust ESD and Latch-Up protection solutions.
- Accelerating time-to-market for customer products through efficient and high-quality design practices.
- Fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement within the analog design team.
- Building strong partnerships with foundries and cross-functional teams, enhancing collaboration and knowledge sharing across projects.
What You’ll Need:
- Proven experience in analog circuit design, with a focus on I/O development and ESD/LU robustness.
- Hands-on expertise with FinFet, FDSOI, and BCD process technologies from leading foundries.
- Strong background in ESD and Latch-Up qualification methodologies, including testchip development and validation.
- Proficiency in ESD simulation, ESD network construction, and use of industry-standard tools.
- Comprehensive understanding of PERC rules and practical experience with PERC verification tools.
- Experience working with cross-functional teams including foundry, design, and layout groups.
Who You Are:
- An analytical thinker with excellent problem-solving skills and keen attention to detail.
- A collaborative team player who values diversity, inclusion, and open communication.
- A proactive learner who stays current with industry trends and emerging technologies.
- An effective communicator, able to translate complex technical information to diverse audiences.
- A results-driven individual who is adaptable, resilient, and comfortable with fast-paced, high-impact work.
