The successful candidate will design and validate high‑speed packages through EM simulation, signal/power integrity analysis, and correlation with lab test & measurement verification. In addition, you will develop and maintain ADKs across multiple EDA platforms, including rule decks, parameterized cells, technology files, and automated verification flows.
- Design, Modeling, and Verification
- Perform high‑speed package design for advanced heterogenous packages (e.g., SiP, FC‑BGA, 2.5D/3D, chiplets) for high-speed RF and Optoelectronics.
- Build and refine 3D EM models of package structures (transmission lines, interconnect and EM passives, etc.).
- Run and interpret EM, SI, and PI simulations (S‑parameters, TDR/TDT, eye diagrams, crosstalk, impedance, PDN impedance).
- Define and validate routing topologies and stackups to meet timing, loss, crosstalk, and impedance requirements.
- Collaborate with silicon, board, and system teams to co‑optimize package, die, and PCB for end‑to‑end performance.
- Correlate simulation results with lab measurements (VNA, TDR, high‑speed scopes) for model validation and sign‑off.
- ADK, EDA Flows, and Automation
- Develop and maintain Assembly Design Kits (ADKs) for package design across multiple EDA tools and foundry/OSAT technologies.
- Create and validate technology files, layer stacks, material properties, and design rule sets for package implementation.
- Develop DRC/LVS/validity rule decks for package layouts and ensure consistency across tools and process nodes.
- Build parameterized cells (PCells) and reusable library components for common package elements (vias, bumps, pads, RDLs, etc.).
- Implement scripted flows (e.g., Python, AEL, SKILL, etc.) to automate design entry, simulation setup, and verification.
- Integrate version control, configuration management, and documentation for ADKs and EDA flows.
