Custom Circuit Design (Sr. Staff / Principal)

What you'll do

• Architect and design transistor-level circuits and arithmetic building blocks, optimizing performance, power, and area.
• Verify circuit functionality, timing, power, variation, and reliability across process, voltage, and temperature corners; support library development through post-layout validation.
• Drive design methodologies and automation, collaborate across engineering teams, and mentor engineers.

What they ask for

• 10+ years of experience in custom digital circuit design, standard cell development, or memory circuit design.
• Expertise in transistor-level CMOS design for advanced technology nodes, including FinFET and GAA.
• Experience optimizing standard cell libraries and using circuit simulation tools such as HSPICE, PrimeSim XA, or Spectre.
• Experience with parasitic extraction using StarRC or Quantus, statistical and reliability verification, and taking complex projects from concept through silicon.

Nice to have

• Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Experience with standard cell characterization using Liberate or PrimeLib, including Liberty (.lib) generation and validation.
