KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• As part of a layout team, you will collaborate to implement high-speed/density packages.
• Perform substrate breakout patterns for ASIC packages.
• Optimize package pinout, incorporating system-level trade-offs of pin assignments.
• Propose layout design trade-offs to the Technical Package Lead for resolution and implementation.
• Conduct design feasibility studies to evaluate the package design goals for size, cost, and system performance.
• Develop symbols and CAD library databases using Cadence APD design tools
• Develop methodologies to improve layout productivity
• Requirements (technology, stack-up, etc.) in the project conception stages and negotiate with chip/system teams on product specification
• Conduct routing, stack-up & component placement studies in addition to completing the package design activities. Translate requirements (design guidelines, technology, stack-up, manufacturing time, etc.) for various device packaging using the Cadence APD or SiP tool suite. . 
• Collaborate with PCB Layout Engineers to optimize the package ball map and chip team to optimize the die size
• Come up with performance metrics for organic package technologies in order to design high-speed chips and systems
• Performing Power Integrity analysis for core as well as IO and generate power delivery network requirements with emphasis on model-to-measurement correlation
• Develop scripts for checking package parameters across device families and maintain a database of electrical design guidelines and rules for IO and PDN package layout implementations. 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Strong knowledge in Flip Chip Packaging (while operational experience in bumping process, substrate manufacturing, Assembly manufacturing, lid & stiffener manufacturing process is an added advantage) 
• Track record of development work leading to volume production in Semiconductor manufacturing 
• Good leadership and interpersonal skills 
• Have a good understanding of various Organic/PCB technologies to interpret/negotiate layout guidelines
• Experience in package/PCB layout is preferred. Experience in high-power Gbps IO products is a plus.
• Significant background with Cadence APD or SiP and PCB layout tools, including Constraint Manager, is a plus. Knowledge of SKILL is a plus.
• Working knowledge of 2D/3D package design and modeling tools, such as Cadence, Ansys, AutoCAD, etc.
• Knowledge of DoE and DFM/DFR is a plus.
• Good knowledge of SerDes design and package/PCB layout constraints
• Experience using Valor is helpful

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• Hold a B.S. Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 10+ Years of Experience in High-Speed Package/PCB Layout Design.
