Analog EDA/CAD Engineer

EDA/CAD Engineer to support and develop EDA tools for Analog/Mixed signal circuit design. The engineer will be hands-on with all phases of design including foundry interface, PDK/tool flow installation database archive validation, and support. The engineer must be an expert in Analog/Mixed signal circuit design flows and tools. 

Responsibilities

o Support CAD environment for the design of analog/mixed-signal

o Contribute to the development of design standards, IC development processes, CAD tools and design flows

o Serve as CAD engineer on some interactions with external IP, tool and foundry vendors

o Command files review, revise, and setup for new projects

o Troubleshoot any CAD issues as required

o Design, setup, and maintain CAD interfaces between IP vendor and design teams

Minimum Expertise Requirements

o Expert in analog and mixed-signal IC design concepts and must demonstrate superior critical thinking skills, problem solving capabilities and engineering judgment

o Fluent with analog/mixed signal EDA front end tools

o Cadence Virtuoso, icfb, experienced or strong knowledge of schematic driven layout

o Mentor Calibre (end user support and rule deck writing)

o Detailed understanding of layout concepts

o CAD tool management

o Strong UNIX/Linux and scripting language (Perl/TCL/csh/etc) .

o Ocean scripting and linux OS support

Minimum Experience Requirements

o BSEE and 10+ years of experience working as a mixed signal IC CAD professional is required

o Experienced with setting up, documenting, and maintaining analog and digital IC design flows

o Experienced with transistor-level IC design and verification software, e.g. Cadence Composer, Cadence Virtuoso, Cadence Spectre, Virtuoso AMS, Mentor Calibre, Cadence Assura, Skill language, is a must

o Third Party IP: Experienced in designing, setting up, and maintaining CAD interfaces with external IP vendor
