About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and develop SoC-level and HBM-cube-level power delivery networks for HBM designs, including power grid architecture, routing strategies, and decoupling schemes.
Perform EM/IR analysis and optimization using industry-standard tools (e.g., Cadence RedHawk, Ansys Totem) to ensure power integrity across dynamic workloads.
Collaborate with physical design teams on floorplanning, placement, and routing strategies to enable efficient PDN implementation.
Drive power integrity closure across multi-mode/multi-corner scenarios, identifying and mitigating droop, noise, and electromigration risks.
Work with package and system teams to co-optimize die-package-system PDN interactions, including bump/pad assignment and current distribution.
Develop and validate power models, including activity-based current profiles and transient analysis for realistic workload scenarios.
Partner with architecture and design teams to influence power-aware design decisions, including power domains, gating strategies, and current demand shaping.
Support signoff activities, including EM, IR, and reliability verification, ensuring design meets long-term reliability and manufacturability goals.
Debug and root-cause PDN-related issues during pre-silicon and post-silicon phases, including silicon correlation and model refinement.
Improve PDN methodologies through automation, scripting, and best-practice development across HBM programs.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Strong experience in power delivery network design and analysis for complex SoCs or high-performance ASICs.
Proficiency with EM/IR analysis tools such as RedHawk, Totem, or equivalent.
Proficiency with Spice based simulation tools and 3D modeling of PDN networks.
Solid understanding of IR drop, electromigration, dynamic voltage droop, and power noise mechanisms.
Experience with physical design flows and close interaction with floorplanning, routing, and implementation teams.
Familiarity with full RTL-to-GDSII design flow and signoff methodologies.
Strong analytical and debugging skills with the ability to drive complex issues to closure.
Experience with HBM, DRAM, or memory-centric SoC designs.
Familiarity with die-package-system co-design and advanced packaging technologies (2.5D/3D integration).
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Minimum 10 years of experience in a related field.
Proven ability to mentor and develop junior engineers.
