Job Description:
Broadcom Central Engineering is looking for an engineer to help with the development, installation, and testing of silicon verification decks, primarily Calibre, in support of advanced FINFET, GAA, or high voltage technologies. Experience with Calibre and Virtuoso is essential as the position will require development of test designs. Strong programming skills in PERL, TCL, SKILL and UNIX shell languages will also be necessary as the individual will be responsible for extending or possibly replacing an existing infrastructure for regression testing, currently written in PERL. Familiarity with circuit extraction and simulation would be helpful to extend regression testing also to cover extraction tool support, primarily StarRC and HSPICE, although QRC and SPECTRE familiarity is also desirable.
Knowledge of industry EDA tool availability and capabilities in these areas is expected.
Requirements
Candidates must have the legal right to work in the US without visa support.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities:
The candidate’s general responsibilities include the following:
•
Development and deployment of Calibre decks for advanced FINFET/GAA/HV nodes.
•
Definition of tool acceptance and certification criteria in partnership with Broadcom teams, Foundry and EDA vendors to meet high-performance IP design needs.
•
Definition and development of IP test-cases and basic test-structures to validate tools and technology related updates on predictable schedules.
•
Development of software for automation in Skill, PERL, UNIX shell scripting and tool-flow integration.
•
Creation of documentation and hands-on training for AMS Design & Layout engineers as needed.
•
Tracking and resolution of tool and technology file issues with hands-on management per objectives of Foundry and EDA vendor support teams.
•
Monitoring of EDA industry trends and new capabilities by attending conferences and research forums. Engagement with EDA and Foundry R&D teams on advanced node capability roadmaps. Identification of new tools, development of evaluation criteria and processes and then serving as champion for introduction and usage within the Broadcom design community.
