About the job
Design and verify standard-cell circuits and custom ROM modules for advanced semiconductor processes, including modeling, simulation, and design-flow development.
What you'll do
- Design, model, and analyze transistor-level standard cells and custom ROMs.
- Verify ROM functionality and feasibility, establish design flows, and run simulations to evaluate design margins.
- Improve circuit-development tools, flows, and library quality checks in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
What they ask for
- Strong background in advanced submicron process issues and deep understanding of conventional cell-library and custom-ROM development and verification.
- Hands-on SPICE simulation experience and ability to adapt to new simulation tools.
- Experience running EM/IR, aging, noise, margin, and high-sigma variation simulations, plus DRC/LVS debug.
- Experience designing or optimizing flip flops, level shifters, latches, custom ROMs, register files, or SRAM.
Nice to have
- Scripting with Perl, Tcl, or Make; automation methods and algorithms.
- Exposure to standard-cell, memory, or custom-circuit development; RTL, logic synthesis, place and route, or prior leadership experience.
Pay
