Microelectronic Design Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Microelectronic Design Engineer to join our semiconductor design team. You will design, develop, simulate, and validate advanced semiconductor devices and chip-scale systems for next-generation applications.

About the role

This role requires deep expertise in chip-scale design, microelectronics architecture, and circuit-level implementation. You will collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams to work on cutting-edge chip designs.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop microelectronic circuits and systems at the chip scale level, from concept through production, for high-performance applications
• Perform schematic capture, circuit simulations, modeling, and analysis using industry-standard tools
• Execute layout design, place and route, parasitic extraction, and timing analysis of integrated circuits
• Conduct physical design verification (DRC, LVS) and design validation, debugging, and performance optimization
• Collaborate with system architects, device engineers, fabrication teams, verification engineers, manufacturing partners, and test engineers to ensure successful product development
• Optimize designs for performance, power consumption, area, and cost
• Implement design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for testability (DFT) best practices
• Support silicon bring-up, characterization, and failure analysis
• Troubleshoot design issues and implement corrective actions
• Develop and document technical specifications, design schematics, and comprehensive technical reports
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous process improvement
• Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends in semiconductor design and microfabrication

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• 5 years of hands-on, direct experience in chip-scale design and layout
• Proven experience in microelectronic circuit design (analog, digital, or mixed-signal)
• Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics)
• Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics, device modeling, IC fabrication processes, and circuit theory
• Experience with CMOS design and manufacturing processes
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication abilities
• Familiarity with verification methodologies and simulation tools

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Experience with advanced nodes (e.g., FinFET, CMOS scaling technologies, 5nm or below)
• Knowledge of RF design, high-speed signal integrity, or high-speed interconnect circuits
• Experience working with ASICs, SoCs, or FPGA-based prototyping
• Experience with power delivery network (PDN) design
• Familiarity with packaging and chip integration technologies
• Experience with static and dynamic power analysis
• Prior experience supporting government, defense, or regulated industry programs
