Use the form below to search our current opportunities and then apply. Please consider joining our Talent Community so that we may continue to engage with you.\nJob Description\nWe are seeking a Senior Design & Physical Implementation Engineer to develop process monitors and silicon characterization circuits used to evaluate device behavior, process variation, layout-dependent effects, and technology performance. This role combines circuit design, physical implementation, custom layout, verification, automation, and silicon characterization.\nThe ideal candidate has a strong understanding of CMOS device behavior and physical design methodologies and enjoys working close to the silicon. This position spans the full development cycle, from circuit architecture and SPICE simulation through physical implementation, custom layout, silicon validation, and data analysis. Successful candidates will be equally comfortable designing circuits and implementing them physically, with a strong appreciation for how layout, placement, routing, extraction, and process variation impact circuit behavior and silicon results.\nYou will work with a cross-functional team to create circuits that generate meaningful silicon insights and enable data-driven engineering decisions. The role requires strong technical execution, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to bridge device-level understanding with physical implementation and silicon measurement.\nWhat You Will Do\nDesign process monitors and characterization circuits used to evaluate device behavior, process variation, reliability, and layout-dependent effects.\nDevelop analog and characterization circuit blocks for sensing, measurement, and silicon characterization applications.\nOwn the physical design and implementation of process monitors and characterization structures.\nPerform transistor-level simulation and verification using SPICE-based design flows.\nDevelop and execute analog verification methodologies, including corner analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and post-layout verification.\nDesign and integrate supporting digital control and interface circuitry required for monitor operation and data collection.\nDevelop custom layouts for analog and characterization circuit blocks.\nOptimize floorplans, placement, routing, and physical implementation strategies to improve monitor accuracy, repeatability, and silicon correlation.\nDevelop and maintain EDA automation, scripting, and design productivity tools.\nAnalyze simulation and silicon characterization data using Python and related data analysis tools.\nCorrelate measured silicon results to simulation and identify opportunities for design, model, or methodology improvement.\nSupport silicon bring-up, debug, validation, and root-cause investigations.\nCollaborate with design, CAD, test, and product engineering teams throughout the development cycle.\nRequired Qualifications\nCircuit Design\nStrong background in analog or mixed-signal IC design.\nStrong understanding of CMOS device operation, process variation, mismatch, parasitics, and layout-dependent effects.\nExperience with transistor-level simulation and analog verification methodologies.\nFamiliarity with digital circuits and mixed-signal integration.\nPhysical Design & Implementation\nExperience with physical design and implementation.\nExperience with custom layout.\nExperience with post-layout verification methodologies.\nExperience evaluating the impact of physical implementation on circuit performance and silicon behavior.\nAdditional Qualifications\nBS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.\nB.S. with 8+ years or M.S. with 5+ years of relevant industry experience.\nExperience with EDA scripting, automation, or workflow development.\nProficiency with Python for engineering analysis and data processing.\nStrong debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with process monitors, silicon characterization structures, or technology development test vehicles.\nExperience evaluating device, circuit, or standard-cell behavior across process, voltage, temperature, and layout conditions.\nExperience correlating silicon measurements to simulation results and device models.\nExperience developing engineering automation, dashboards, or data-analysis workflows.\nExperience with advanced process technologies and variability characterization.\nWhy Join Us\nThis is a hands-on engineering role with broad technical scope and direct impact on silicon development. You will own both the design and physical implementation of circuits that provide critical insight into device behavior, process capability, and technology performance while contributing across the entire development cycle from concept through silicon validation.\nThe position offers the opportunity to combine circuit design, physical implementation, custom layout, automation, and silicon analysis in a technically challenging environment focused on real-world hardware development.\nLocation\nThis position is based in Austin, TX.\nPhysical Requirements\nThe physical demands described herein are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. This job operates in an office setting and routinely uses standard office equipment such as computers, phones, photocopiers, and filing cabinets.\nThis is a largely sedentary role; however, some filing is required, which would require the ability to lift files, open filing cabinets, and bend or stand as necessary. This position requires the ability to occasionally lift office products and supplies up to 35 pounds. This position also requires 4 to 6 hours per day at a computer screen and keyboard.\nDiversity creates an innovative culture.
