Design Quality and Reliability Engineer

Job Description

In this position you will work in a group of pre-Silicon design Quality and Reliability Engineers (QRE), supporting development of CPU and Hard IPs on the most advanced Intel processes. You will be responsible for pre-Silicon verification and execution of simulations in the design phase as well as developing new design methods, flows and tools for VLSI circuit IP and SoC projects. Primary responsibilities are to collaborate with Hard IP and SoC design teams, perform quality audits in the design phase, risk assessments on pre-silicon design reliability and analysis of physical design performance verification (PV) as well as reliability verification (RV) results. Key tasks include pre-silicon design modeling and correct-by-construction design simulation verifications to mitigate circuit marginalities in Device Aging, Interconnect Reliability (Electromigration), Electro Static Discharge (ESD), Latch-Up (LU), Soft Error Reliability (SER) as well as design/package interactions. Other tasks include program management and technical guidance to junior team members. An important aspect of this role is to assess risks associated with design process marginalities and drive resolutions with partners from design architecture and manufacturing teams.

Qualifications

• Bachelors / Masters / PhD in Electronics Engineering, Physics or Material Science with 3+ years of relevant experience in circuit simulation, PV, RV and Physical Design.
• Strong skills in device physics and circuit operations along with technical problem solving, communication and data analysis.
• Knowledge in analog and digital circuit design methodologies (timing, noise, physical design, circuit design, mask design and layout).
• Understanding of optimizations and trade-offs to achieve better performance, power, reliability.
• Experiences in overall VLSI design flow, technology development and device physics are a plus.
• Design knowledge in the areas of device aging, Interconnect Reliability and ESD-LU is a plus.
• Experience in programming using scripting languages such as Python Perl or VB is a plus.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• Good written and spoken English.
• Ability to effectively work in a team environment.
• Well organized, with the ability to effectively manage multiple tasks.
