**Job Description**:
As part of the Engineering Enablement organization at ADI, this intern will work on developing and testing of the QA framework used in the validation of Process design kits (PDK) for internal and external semiconductor process technologies used in the design and manufacturing of analog, mixed signal, power management and DSP products in ADI. As an individual contributor, you will be expected to possess the necessary programming skills and circuit design knowledge to develop, support, enhance and test the PDK QA flow used at ADI. The PDK QA functions involve checking of the PDK deliverables such as schematic symbols, layout p-cells, CDFs, DRC/LVS decks, technology files used in Parasitic extraction, ESD verification and other reliability-based flows for quality issues prior to the release of a PDK

Primary responsibilities:

- Test case generation and unit testing to ensure there is adequate test coverage for validating the different PDK components.
- Test case debugging - investigate if PASS/FAIL test cases are being generated and functioning as per requirements.
- Closely work with developers of front-end and back-end components of PDK to create/enhance test cases to actively improve QA coverage.
- Ability to interpret process as well as assembly/packaging design rule specifications to ensure test cases are representative of design rule checks implemented in DRC decks.
- Understand Layout Vs. Schematic (LVS) flow intent and create representative test cases for validating LVS decks.
- Create test cases for validating netlists generated for internal/external analog circuit simulation tools.
- Test case generation for testing the accuracy of Parasitic Resistance/Capacitance extraction technology files.
- Perform validation of techfiles used in ESD verification, such as topology checks, ESD resistance and current density checks.

Qualifications:

- BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering with an emphasis on IC design and semiconductor processes
- Exposure to Bipolar or BCD processes and deep sub-micron process technologies is a plus.
- Proven skills in automation and programming languages (SKILL, Perl, Python, Tcl, Bash)
- Understanding of analog/mixed signal simulation tools
- Familiarity with physical verification (DRC/LVS) tools
- Knowledge of parasitic extraction tools.
- Familiarity with revision control systems and collaboration tools is a plus.
- Must possess excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Must be detail oriented, well organized and a versatile team player
- For positions requiring access to technical data, Analog Devices, Inc. may have to obtain export licensing approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce - Bureau of Industry and Security and/or the U.S. Department of State - Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. As such, applicants for this position - except US Citizens, US Permanent Residents, and protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3) - may have to go through an export licensing review process._
