AI Tool Evaluation: Lead the internal evaluation of AI-driven layout platforms.
Benchmarking their ability to handle high-speed constraints, complex stack-ups, and power delivery requirements against traditional manual routing.
Workflow Automation: Develop scripts (Python, SKILL, or TCL) to bridge the gap between d-Matrix’s standard EDA tools (Cadence Allegro/OrCAD) and AI layout agents.
PCB Design Support: Assist Senior Layout Engineers in preparing design data (schematics, netlists, and constraint files) for automated routing engines.
Constraint Translation: Work on "translating" complex hardware constraints (differential pairs, length matching, and Z_{target} for PDN) into formats that AI agents can ingest and execute accurately.
Performance Analysis: Conduct post-layout analysis on AI-generated designs, comparing Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) metrics against human-designed baselines.

Requirements

Current Student: Pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
PCB Fundamentals: Basic understanding of PCB design flow (Schematic -> Layout -> Fabrication) and familiarity with at least one EDA tool (Allegro, Altium, or KiCad).
Programming Skills: Strong proficiency in Python. Experience with APIs, data parsing (JSON/XML), or automated tool-chaining is highly preferred.
First-Principles Thinking: A passion for challenging the status quo of "how things have always been done" in hardware design.
