Senior EM/IR Engineer

Job description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place! E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced EM/IR Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, simulating, and verifying high-performance digital, analog and RF integrated circuits for applications such as 5G, IoT, and satellite communications. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, develop innovative design solutions, and ensure that products meet the highest standards of quality and performance. ### WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING: • Lead EM/IR drop analysis for complex SoC designs at block and full-chip levels across all process corners • Define and implement power delivery network (PDN) strategy to meet EM/IR sign-off requirements • Perform static and dynamic IR-drop analysis and work with physical design teams to implement power grid improvements • Analyze electromigration violations and develop mitigation strategies for metal and via connections • Collaborate with physical design engineers to optimize power grid density, via stacking, and decap placement • Develop and maintain EM/IR analysis flows, scripts, and automation infrastructure • Work with foundry design rules and reliability specifications to ensure sign-off compliance • Define power intent (UPF/CPF) requirements and validate implementation against power management intent • Provide power analysis results and recommendations to design leadership and cross-functional teams • Document EM/IR methodology guidelines, best practices, and sign-off reports ### WHAT YOU BRING TO THIS ROLE: • Minimum 8+ years of experience in EM/IR analysis and power integrity for complex ASICs or SoCs • Hands-on proficiency with industry-standard EM/IR tools such as Cadence Voltus, Synopsys RedHawk, or equivalent • Deep understanding of power delivery network design, power grid analysis, and IR-drop mitigation techniques • Strong knowledge of electromigration physics, EM rules, and reliability analysis methodologies • Experience with both static and dynamic power analysis including vectorless and vector-based approaches • Solid understanding of low-power design techniques and their interaction with power integrity • Proficiency in scripting (Tcl, Python) for EM/IR flow development and result automation • Familiarity with advanced process node design rules and foundry reliability specifications • Excellent ability to communicate complex analysis results clearly to cross-functional teams ### BONUS POINTS: • Experience with 7nm or sub-7nm EM/IR sign-off requirements • Exposure to thermal analysis and electro-thermal co-simulation • Familiarity with package-level power integrity and chip-package co-design • Experience with advanced power management architectures (DVFS, multiple voltage domains, retention) • Background in satellite communication, 5G, or high-reliability IoT chip design ### Additional Requirements This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.
