Job Description:
Do you have a passion for crafting entirely new solutions? As
part of our Digital group, you'll take imaginative and
revolutionary ideas and determine how to turn them into reality!
You and your team will apply engineering fundamentals and start
from scratch if needed, bringing forward-thinking ideas to the real
world. Your efforts will be groundbreaking, often literally. Join
us, and you'll help design the tools that allow us to bring
customers experiences they've never-before envisioned! You will be
part of an exciting silicon design group that is responsible for
designing pioneering ASICs. We have an extraordinary opportunity

(SRAM memories, on-chip sensors, ML accelerators data path) used in
a high performance / low power SOC. Key Qualifications
- Experience in one or multiple of the following areas is highly
desirable: Machine learning accelerators, non-volatile memory
circuits, memory subsystems, 3D integration / new packaging
technologies, advanced device technologies, design /technology
co-optimization (DTCO).
- Deep understanding of deep submicron device physics, leakage
mechanisms, technology interactions with device behavior for logic,
SRAM and NVM memories.
- Ability to conduct experiments during silicon debug, gathering
and analyzing data; and use scripting to support efficient handling
of ATE data.
- Familiar with mixed signal verification and behavioral models
for mixed signal blocks.
