We are looking for an experienced
EM/IR Engineer to lead power integrity and reliability signoff activities for advanced-node SoC designs. In this role, you will drive IR drop and electromigration (EM) analysis, define signoff methodologies, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to achieve robust and reliable silicon implementation. The ideal candidate should possess deep expertise in power integrity analysis, a strong understanding of advanced-node challenges, and proven experience in leading signoff closure for complex chip designs.
What You’ll Do
- Lead full-chip and block-level IR drop and electromigration (EM) analysis for advanced-node SoC designs
- Drive power integrity signoff closure by identifying, debugging, and resolving IR/EM violations
- Collaborate with Physical Design, Power, Package, and Foundry teams to optimize power delivery networks
- Define and improve EM/IR methodologies, automation flows, and signoff strategies
- Perform static and dynamic IR analysis across multiple operating conditions and scenarios
- Analyze power grid robustness, current density, and thermal impacts to ensure design reliability
- Support tapeout activities and ensure high-quality signoff delivery within project timelines
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or VLSI-related discipline
- 10+ years of experience in IR/EM analysis, power integrity, or Physical Design signoff
- Strong understanding of power integrity concepts including static/dynamic IR drop, EM analysis, and power grid optimization
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard tools such as Cadence Voltus, Ansys RedHawk, or equivalent
- Good understanding of Physical Design flow including floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and extraction
- Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Python, Perl, or Shell for automation and flow development
Good to Have
- Experience with advanced technology nodes such as 7nm, 5nm, 3nm, or below
- Exposure to package-aware analysis, thermal analysis, and low-power methodologies
- Experience in leading signoff closure for large-scale SoC or high-performance compute designs
Success in This Role Looks Like
- Achieving robust IR/EM signoff with minimal iterations and successful tapeout execution
- Early identification and resolution of power integrity risks impacting performance and reliability
- Improved signoff productivity through methodology enhancements and automation initiatives
- Strong technical leadership and collaboration across implementation and signoff teams
