Job description

## Senior IC Design EngineerApply: Nijmegen: Full time: Posted Today: R-20016080**About the role** In this role you will be part of the Nexperia BG IC Solutions Logic development team, you will take ownership of the implementation of the technical requirements of products in logic families and switch families. You are expected to have detailed understanding of CMOS or BCD technology, IC design and analog IC design tools (Cadence or Synopsys) as well as plastic package technology and its assembly process. **What you will do**Your mission is to develop and release products, which are combinations of integrated circuits and plastic packages, produced and tested at high volumes at the lowest possible cost. These products meet all datasheet specifications, customer requirements, ESD requirements, industry standards and quality requirements. During the study, concept, design, validation and qualification phase of each project, you will be the technical lead of a cross-functional team of design engineering, product engineering, test engineering and product quality engineering. You will drive full-chip design, product specifications setting and verification while having the ownership of the top-level layout fit for all required packages.As **senior design engineer**, you will make your key contributions to the design of cost-effective products by selecting the most efficient way for the implementation of a set of designs within a logic family. You will develop master designs that can be configured into multiple derivative functions, sharing pin functionality and packages. You will implement customer requirements and make sure the product will meet datasheet values. You will do full top-level verification and specification setting agreement with the product manager and agree on test limits with test engineer in the team.**Besides this you will work on:*** Design integrated circuits in 0.5um to 0.18um feature size CMOS and BCD wafer processes.* Develop the products in a wide range of plastic packages with Cu-wire bond wiring.* Design circuits with existing or adjacent circuit techniques and trade-off complexity, area, effort and risks.* Implement ESD robust solutions and perform TLP characterization together with ESD expert.* Develop ESD expertise, different technologies and families and drive this into the design group.* Design, optimization and simulations on block level and top level of the IC using Synopsys/Cadence tools.* Manage design risks and achieve First Time Right designs.* Top-level functional simulations, full statistical verification of building blocks and datasheet parameters.* Floor-planning, layout of blocks and top-level layout and wiring diagram creation.## **What you will need*** Master’s degree in electrical engineering.* Minimum 3 years of experience in semiconductor industry and circuit design.* Understanding of semiconductor device physics and device characteristics.* Experienced with standard CMOS or BCD technologies.* Own knowledge of ESD mechanisms and ESD circuit protection techniques.* Experienced analog EDA tools and simulations techniques.* Possesses Analytical Skills and ability to apply pragmatic approaches.* Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken.* Team player and target driven, shows initiative, has an entrepreneurial attitude and works independently.## **Why work for us?*** Flexible working hours and possibility of overtime reduction to maintain a Work-Life-Balance.* Permanent employment contract with a competitive salary and supplementary voluntary employee benefits.* Attractive Bonus.* A wide variety of training courses and career development options.* Numerous further benefits, such as retirement provisions, travel allowance, company events, sports and leisure activities, employee discounts and even more.## **About the team**You will come to work in a larger team of IC Design Engineers and ESD experts as your direct colleagues, all closely working together in the Nijmegen location of Nexperia. The team is divided into three products groups, which are Standard Logic and Switches, Voltage Translators and I2C controlled GPIO and Switches and eFuse power switches.The focus of your job will be Logic and Switch families. For your role you will have highly advanced design tools at your disposal to perform design and simulations yourself. The design and layout of circuits are done with tools of world leading EDA vendors. The design groups work closely together with the Front End and Back End technology teams in Nijmegen for the development of integrated circuits and packages.
