CAD - Staff AMS CAD Engineer

Job description

Join the leading chiplet startup! As an Eliyan *Staff AMS CAD Engineer*, you will be working at a fast-paced startup creating technologies that fuel tomorrow’s chiplet based systems with best-in-class power, area, manufacturability, and design flexibility. You will be implementing, administering, and ensuring accuracy and repeatability of all analog CAD flows. You will work with a cross-functional team of industry experts that operate from first principles, innovate and push the envelope to create high-volume and high-performance manufacturable products. We offer a fun work environment with excellent benefits. ### Key Responsibilities: - **PDK Download & Setup** – Download, install, and configure Process Design Kits (PDKs) for analog/mixed-signal design environments. - **IP Download & Setup** – Manage the acquisition and integration of third-party and in-house IP blocks into the design environment. - **Tools & License Management** – Administer EDA tools installation, upgrades, and license server management to ensure uninterrupted access for design teams. - **SOS Management** – Handle project setup and workarea setup, including directory structures, access controls, and design environment configuration. - **Simulation Model Files Setup** – Configure and validate simulation model files (SPICE models, statistical models, etc.) for accurate circuit simulation. - **Slurm Configuration** – Set up and maintain Slurm workload manager for efficient job scheduling and compute resource allocation. - **Setup PV Flows** – Establish and maintain Physical Verification flows including FILL, DRC, LVS, PERC, and Antenna checks. - **Setup RC Extraction** – Configure parasitic RC extraction flows for accurate post-layout simulation and analysis. - **Setup Voltus** -**Fi EMIR Flow** – Implement and maintain Voltus-Fi based Electromigration and IR drop (EMIR) analysis flow. - **Setup EMX Flow** – Configure and deploy EMX electromagnetic simulation flow for passive component and interconnect modeling. - **Analog Macro Release Procedure** – Define and maintain the release procedure for analog macros for digital hand-off, including GDS, LEF, LIB/DB, CDL, and behavioral models, ensuring completeness, quality checks, and seamless integration into the digital design flow. - **EDA Vendor Coordination** – Work closely with EDA vendors (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens/Mentor) to evaluate new tools and updates, report bugs, obtain patches, resolve tool-related issues, and drive enhancements aligned with design team requirements. - **Debug Issues** – Troubleshoot and resolve issues associated with AMS tools, flows, and design environment configurations. ### Qualifications: - **Education** – Master's degree in electrical engineering, Electronics, or a related field. - **Experience** – Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in AMS CAD/design environment support. - **EDA Tools Proficiency** – Hands-on experience with industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso Layout/Schematic, ADE Assembler, Pegasus, Quantus, Calibre, and related tools. - **Programming Skills** – Strong programming and scripting abilities in Python, Cadence SKILL, Cadence PCELLS, and Shell scripting (Bash/Tcsh) for automation and flow development.
