Principal Engineer- Design Enablement Modeling

Your Job:

• Understanding and analyzing TLP measurements and assess device failure types and trends
• Processing the lab data and to use it for model extraction – to deliver compact models that capture high current behaviors of ESD-FETs, ESD-Diodes, ESD-SCRs and various flavors that are offered in any given PDK (Process Development Kit) corresponding to a technology node. (Typical lab data : DC I-V Characteristics, AC S-parameter measurements using de-embedding structures for high frequency characterization, Transmission Line Pulsing measurements etc.)
• De-bugging customer issues that may arise from time to time while using the ESD models in various circuits designed for their specific applications. Understanding the model/device behavior in the circuits and systems context and helping customers get around their design challenges innovatively.
• Interacting with the Technology Development Teams to appreciate device design and electrical behavior of the ESD devices in question.
• Work on stretch assignments/projects (with interns or otherwise) from time to time to improve/enhance technical knowhow on matters related to ESD Device Physics, Process knowledge, TCAD based insights, model automation, Library/ LVS /PEX issues and other model/circuit simulation related challenges.

Other Responsibilities: 

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs

Required Qualifications

• Education (minimum qualification): Ph.D (Semiconductors, Microelectronics or RF Electronics)
• Must have taken relevant courses on Semiconductor Device Physics, Model extraction (Compact modeling), RF Microelectronics and VLSI.
