As a leading technology innovator, we push the boundaries of what's possible and drive transformation in communication and data processing to help create a smarter, connected future for all. In this journey, we are evolving into an “AI-first” intelligent-edge powerhouse, combining high-performance, low-power compute and seamless connectivity while pushing intelligence closer to users through ultra-efficient, on-device AI that ensures privacy, personalization, and real-time responsiveness. This is the Invention Age—and this is where you come in.
Key Responsibilities
- Work with system architecture and SoC design teams, define and assess 3DIC process technology requirements and roadmap.
- PPAC assessment for System-Technology Co-Optimization (STCO) for new product development.
- Foundry interface for 3DIC physical design flow and key design rule definitions.
- Establish dependency of 3D process solutions on key chip architecture and design KPI and co-optimize 3D solutions accordingly.
- Pathfinding and development of chiplet physical design methodology and PDK development.
- 3D DRAM and Cache SRAM Architecture evaluation for AI and other Compute workloads.
- Custom DRAM integration technology evaluation and pathfinding.
Desired Skillset/Experience
- Experience with 2.5D and 3D STCO and pathfinding.
- 2.5D and 3D chip partition and dependencies on product KPI like performance, power, chip and beachfront area, chip-chip communication metrics, power grid, etc.
- System and/or chip-level architecture and physical design experience for 3D cache partitioning (a plus).
- Physical design experience with SoIC and/or CoWoS.
