Job Purpose

Microelectronics expert to research and contribute to the design synthesis characterization packaging testing reliability security and trustworthiness of nanofabricated microelectronic semiconductor devices. This may include research of prototype or commercial semiconductor devices and tools e.g. ASICs FPGAs. This position involves close collaboration with a highly technical team of research leaders to accomplish task and program objectives contribute technically to proposal ideation and conceive and execute internal research efforts refining core research processes and capabilities. Responsibilities range from CAD/EDA tools development semiconductor nanodevice design fabrication and verification to cleanroom equipment utilization. Formal methods and other advanced algorithmic techniques will be leveraged to enable and evaluate security and trustworthiness pre and postfabrication. The position will utilize a wide range of knowledge from semiconductor physics to micro/nano synthesis and fabrication tools and develop novel techniques algorithms and tools to evaluate CAD/EDA flows architectures materials and fabricated devices with new properties and features

Key Responsibilities

• Utilize industry standard microelectronic design and verification tools (.e.g Vivado Quartus Cadence Modelsim OneSpin)
• Apply knowledge of microelectronic circuitry and its design implementation into microelectronics hardware security techniques
• Develop custom software and scripting solutions in support of microelectronic design security and analysis
• May Implement software interfacing with microelectronic design EDA/CAD tools
• May Implement advanced algorithms covering graph analysis data analysis and clustering
• Utilize basic microelectronics laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes signal generators logic analyzer optical microscopes soldering equipment) to support design analysis and verification tasks
