    Safety Sensitive: Yes

    GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF POSITION

    You will be responsible for die and package level EM design, including inductors, transformers, capacitors, transmission lines, chip filters, phase shifters, couplers, etc.In addition, you will lead isolation analysis by simulating and measuring isolation between Aggressor and victim IPs and implement solutions to improve isolation including optimization of guard rings, BFMOAT/NTN, seal ring, cross-fabric extraction of parasitics between die-package, package-PCB and optimum placement of decoupling capacitors. You will be in charge of EM tool enablement and creating a flow that guarantees EM accuracy and feasibility of Cadence simulation with EM models.

    ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
    • Working with RFIC design, physical design, CAD, Process, package and PCB teams
    • Extract models for EM components for seamless integration into Cadence simulations
    • Analyze and optimize isolation between victim and aggressors, on die, package, PCB
    • Enable and maintain 2D/3D EM tools based on die process, package/PCB stackup
    • Run initial Cadence simulations to validate EM models and troubleshoot simulation challenges and convergence issues
    • Perform any other related duties as required or assigned.
    QUALIFICATIONS
    • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with special emphasis in electromagnetics and circuit design, with at least 15+ years of experience in IC design industry, particularly mmWave RFIC
