Sr. Design Automation Engineer

Skyworks Solutions, Inc.; Bengaluru; Vor Ort; INR 1.800.000 - 2.600.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. in Bengaluru seeks a PDK engineer to enable world-class analog/mixed-signal design on advanced nodes. You will develop, validate, and release PDK components for 22nm and above, collaborating with foundries and internal teams.

The role requires 3–5 years in PDK development, Cadence Virtuoso, SKILL or Python, and a strong grasp of device physics for RF. You will own release management, versioning, and QA testing to deliver defect-free designs.

Qualifikationen

• M.Tech/M.E./M.S. in EE/CE from a reputed university.
• 3–5 years in PDK development, technology enablement, and CAD/methodology for analog/mixed-signal design.
• Hands-on experience with Cadence Virtuoso flows (OA database, pcells, techfile, rule deck integration).
• Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics for analog/RF: MOS, bipolar/HBT, passive structures, and process corners.
• Experience with DRC/LVS/PEX deck development or validation in a production PDK environment.
• Proficiency in SKILL and/or Python for PDK automation and QA scripting.
• Ability to read and interpret foundry design manuals, DRMs, and model documentation.
• Detail-oriented approach to release management, versioning, and issue tracking.

Aufgaben

• Develop and maintain PDK components: device models, pcells, technology files, and DRC/LVS/PEX rule decks.
• Validate PDK releases against foundry documentation, reference structures, and internal design benchmarks.
• Support HBT and GaAs process technologies—device characterization, model fitting, and layout-aware design rules for RF applications.
• Enable foundry technologies at 22nm and above nodes for analog/mixed-signal design IPs.
• Collaborate with foundries, internal process teams, and design groups to resolve PDK gaps and drive closure on open issues.
• Build regression and QA infrastructure for PDK releases; maintain version control and release notes.
