Sr. Principal Design Engineer

What You'll Do

• Circuit Design & Optimization: Build full-custom or compiler-based SRAM macros, sense amplifiers, and self-timed circuits.
• Simulation & Characterization: Run SPICE simulations to analyze timing, power, and Static Noise Margin (SNM) across process corners.
• Layout Supervision: Direct physical design and layout teams to handle process variability and FinFET manufacturing rules.
• Silicon Validation & Debug: Support post-silicon testing and troubleshooting hardware failures 3.
• Required Qualifications & Experience Education: B.Tech/M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or Microelectronics.
• Experience: Typically ranges from 6 to 18 years depending on whether the role is entry/mid-level or a senior lead/architect position.
• Core Knowledge: Deep understanding of CMOS device physics, transistor sizing, and memory cell stability.
• Tools: Proficiency in EDA software like Cadence Virtuoso or SPICE simulators.
• Scripting: Ability to use Python or Perl for workflow automation and data analysis 4.
• Behavioral & Soft Skills Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• High attention to detail.
• Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with circuit designers, architecture teams, and CAD engineers.
• We’re doing work that matters.
• Help us solve what others can’t.
