Staff IO Design Engineer

As a Staff/Sr.Staff Design Engineer, your job will entail the following:

• Design planning of pad rings and package substrates, bump pattern construction.
• Dynamically define and optimize pad ring connectivity.
• Work with CFTs (Cross-Functional Team) on the deliverables (DEF, Verilog netlist etc.,)
• Interface with and support Architect, PD, PE, technology development and foundries teams.
• Support JTAG TAP controller integration and implementation across SoC designs, ensuring IEEE 1149.1 compliance and proper JTAG signal connectivity in collaboration with the DFT team.
• Collaborate with CFTs on TAP controller operation, scan-enable path handling, and post-silicon debug requirements.
• Support Verification, Emulation, ASIC lab validation including lab debug and providing logic modifications and workarounds.

 

Requirements/Qualifications:

 

• B.S or M.S degree in electrical engineering with 10+ years to 16Yrs  related experience.
• Hands-on experience with pad ring planning, IO cell placement, and bump map/pattern definition for advanced SoC designs.
• Knowledge of IO library cells, IO standards, and PHY-level IO interfaces (SerDes, DDR, PCIe, CXL).
• Experience with IO planning and implementation EDA tools (e.g., Orbit IO, ISP or equivalent); specific tool experience is valuable but not mandatory.
• Experience generating and validating IO connectivity deliverables (pad ring DEF, IO netlist, bump assignment) for physical design hand-off).
• Experience with Verilog/System Verilog is required.
• Basic to intermediate knowledge of JTAG/Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.1) architecture and TAP controller operation.
• Hands-on experience with DFT methodologies is a plus and considered equivalent familiarity.
• Familiarity with JTAG-based post-silicon debug flows and bring-up strategies for SoC IO validation.
• Experience with boundary scan cell behavior and test access port (TAP) signal verification is a plus.
• Scripting experience or knowledge is a plus.
• Excellent analytical, communication (written and verbal), and documentation skills.
