CAD Engineer (IC Design)

CAD Engineer (IC Design) Location: Penang, Malaysia Responsibilities: • Install, setup and maintain foundry’s process collaterals, e.g PDK for design development. • Create all necessary processes and qualify the process collaterals for targeted EDA toolset. • Define, execute, and continue improving the EDA tool master plan to assist the design environment to improve the design efficiency and productivity. • Including but not limited to creating new processes, flow or tool and identify and improve the inefficiency in current EDA flow. • The design environment covers the design, verification, DFT/Test and potential characterization flow. • Work with engineering team (design/layout/verification) in understanding the working need and eventually identify the EDA tool needs and flow automation requirements to improve the design efficiency and quality. • Evaluate new EDA technologies/process/capabilities for all engineering teams including tools/methodology evaluations, flow development, scripting, and deployment. • Maintain, improve and/or consolidate the existing CAD/EDA scripts/flows in helping to standardize the design processes. • Interface with CAD tools vendor in resolving tools and flow issues which are related to tool. • Potentially involved in licensing negotiations with the tool vendor. • Continuous team education on new tools/methodology, technological improvement, and roadmap. • Perform tasks needed by company which adhere to company o policy to ensure company’s business operation. Education & Experience: • More 5 years of experience in process technology, design EDA, flow and methodology development • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering • Good/strong scripting skills in Pyton, shell, perl, tcl, skill code or equivalent Skill & Knowledge: • Good understanding and knowledge of deep submicron process technology collaterals (DRC/TDR), spice modeling, variation modelling and etc. • Familiarity with semiconductor reliability physics and failure mechanisms, including electromigration (EM), latch-up (LU), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a plus. • Demonstrated expertise and proficiency in design EDA tools from CAD vendors such as Synopsys, Cadence and etc.
