Jobbeschreibung

The automotive industry is at a turning point with advanced chiplet technology paving the way for autonomous driving and connected vehicles. Imec and the State of Baden-Württemberg are establishing a joint project to support the local and international automotive industry in derisking and accelerating the introduction of automotive chiplets into manufacturing.

In our new Advanced Chip Design Accelerator (ACDA) competence center, based at the Innovation Park AI (IPAI) in Heilbronn, we will be pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and accelerating the future of automotive. By leveraging imec’s world-leading expertise in semiconductor technology and packaging, we will be building the chiplet-based solutions that will power the vehicles of tomorrow to be smarter, safer, and more efficient.

What you will do

Your assignment consists of the following tasks:

• Package Selection and Analysis Select an appropriate IC package type based on the given specifications and IC
• requirements. Perform a comprehensive analysis of the chosen package's electrical characteristics. Identify any limitations or potential issues that may arise during the design process.
• Electrical Performance Optimization Optimize the electrical performance of the IC package by focusing on signal
• integrity, power integrity, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Analyze the routing, parasitic effects, and noise issues associated with the package. Propose design modifications or enhancements to improve electrical performance.
• Design for Manufacturability and Cost Optimization Consider manufacturability and cost optimization aspects of
• the IC package design. Review the design for compatibility with manufacturing processes, assembly requirements, and
• materials availability. Suggest design modifications to streamline the manufacturing process while maintaining or reducing overall costs.
• Documentation and Reporting Produce a comprehensive report summarizing your analysis, design modifications, and
• optimization recommendations for the IC package. Include detailed diagrams, simulations, calculations, and experimental results where applicable. Clearly communicate the rationale behind your design decisions and their potential impact on the IC's performance and reliability.
