Staff Application Engineer

As a Staff Applications Engineer, you will be working with our foundry team deploying new technology nodes for leading-edge customers. Your role will be critical as each technology node introduces new, complex layout design rules and other process nuances that impact the entire physical design implementation flow. You will work closely with a customer on understanding their node migration challenges, co-develop support with foundry and R&D, and test and improve end-to-end flows and algorithms to meet power/perf/area/runtime targets for the customer’s specific designs. You will be expected to analyze, debug and solve in-depth technical issues related to technology files, implementation methodologies, and flows.
