You are a passionate and innovative engineer, eager to push the boundaries of semiconductor technology. You have a solid understanding of advanced node processes and a knack for solving complex problems. You thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with cross-functional teams to achieve rapid PPA closure on high-performance designs. You are adept at synthesizing and placing & routing, and you possess strong coding skills in TCL/Perl to develop quick solutions. Your background in Electrical or Computer Science, combined with hands-on experience in Digital VLSI Design, makes you an ideal candidate for this role.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Engaging in DTCO and pathfinding for next-generation semiconductor nodes.
  • Collaborating with R&D and Advanced Node Research Partners to enhance EDA engines.
  • Conducting hands-on analysis of digital implementation engine issues and providing quick solutions.
  • Supporting early new node customers in deploying the latest technologies.
  • Isolating potential issues to improve PPA and runtime for customer-specific designs.
  • Working closely with the engineering teams at IMEC and Synopsys to enhance collaboration and innovation.

The Impact You Will Have:

  • Driving advancements in semiconductor technology through innovative design solutions.
  • Enhancing the capabilities of EDA engines to meet the needs of advanced node processes.
  • Contributing to the development of cutting-edge technologies like Gate-All-Around (GAA) and Backside Power Delivery Network (BSPDN).
  • Improving the Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) of high-performance designs.
  • Facilitating rapid deployment of new semiconductor technologies to customers.
  • Strengthening Synopsys' position as a leader in chip design and software security.

What You’ll Need:

  • MSc/PhD Degree in Electrical or Computer Science.
  • 1+ years of experience in Digital VLSI Design, Synthesis, Place & Route, and Advanced Node concepts.
  • Strong understanding of semiconductor physics.
  • Proficiency in Fusion Compiler is preferred.
  • Experience with TCL/Perl scripting for quick prototyping and solutions.

Who You Are:

  • An innovative thinker capable of solving complex problems creatively.
  • A collaborative team player who excels in cross-functional environments.
  • Detail-oriented with a strong focus on achieving high-quality results.
  • Proactive and adaptable, able to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic setting.
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You will be a member of the Foundry Core Engineering team, responsible for Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) and rapid PPA closure using Synopsys products. This team works closely with leading foundry partners and fabless customers to develop EDA technologies for next-generation process technology. Your role will involve close collaboration with IMEC, a world-leading R&D and innovation hub for semiconductors and digital technology, to enhance the capabilities of EDA engines and drive semiconductor innovation.

Rewards and Benefits:

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
