Summary
Posted:Feb 20, 2023
Role Number: 200464195
Do you love building elegant solutions to highly complex
challenges? Do you intrinsically see the importance in every
detail? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you'll help
design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance,
power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC). You'll ensure
Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle
the tasks that make them beloved by millions! Joining this group
means you'll be responsible for crafting and building the
technology that fuels Apple's devices. Together, we will enable our
customers to do all the things they love with their devices! As a
member of our CAD team, you will architect, develop, maintain and
enhance simulation methodology and solutions for our Analog, RF and
mixed-signal designs. The role requires working with different
technology nodes and provide flows/methodologies for the different
tool sets. Working in a small CAD team, you will be collaborating
with the analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design teams. The
role will also involve partnering with layout design, technology,
and 3rd party EDA tool vendors to drive and coordinate effort of
developing and validating simulation flows, enhancing custom design
environment, validating checks and doing results analysis.
Key Qualifications
Strong expertise in circuit simulations with Analog/RFIC design
and/or related CAD/automation support areas involving various
technology nodes and tape out.
Expertise with Cadence ADE environment including knowledge of
Schematic Editor, PDK, CDF, Callbacks, Netlisting, Analog Design
Environment (ADE-L/XL/GXL/Maestro), OCEAN
Proficient in Spice simulators, including Spectre, Spectre RF, AFS
(BDA), Hspice, ADS, GoldenGate, AMS Designer, XA, Hsim, and
FineSim.
Strong ability to solve simulation accuracy, speed and capacity
issues. Knowledge of AC, DC, Tran, Harmonic Balance, S-parameters,
Periodic noise, PSS simulations.
Expertise in device level SOA checks, ERC asserts, statistical
simulations using Monte Carlo, PVT and Reliability/aging analysis
involving Self-Heating is a plus.
Experience in evaluating simulation and environment related CAD
tool/product applications and driving EDA vendors to meet design
requirements.
Understand custom IC designs, and knowledge of Post-layout DSPF/SPF
extraction. Knowledge of behavioral RTL/AMS circuits, experience in
Verilog- A/AMS. Knowledge of PDK and spice models
qualification.
Efficient programming skills in SKILL language, Python, Perl, TCL,
or Shell. Ability to provide automations for rapid and dynamic
design needs. Knowledge in Perforce and/or regressions is
preferred.
Good written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to
collaborate well with multi-functional teams and external
vendors.
Description
We are a small CAD team, so you will have an impact with the
analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design teams by: - Solving
issues related to transistor level simulations on Analog, RF and
Microwave applications with Spice simulators on command-line and
Cadence environment. - Guide and assist designers in solving tool
issues related to ADE, ADE-XL, Maestro and OCEAN and develop
automation flows. - Steer Methodology on SPICE simulation and
modeling techniques related to circuits, thereby influencing the
advancement of a variety of technology nodes. - Architect and
develop next generation in-house EDA CAD flow solutions related to
Analog and Mixed-signal simulations.
Education & Experience
Minimum requirement of BS + 10 years of relevant industry
experience.
