Principal Design AI Engineer

Responsibilities: Implement core Xpath, Ypath, and Array design during project execution and work with project teams integrating the core schematics into full‑chip schematics, validating design performance and functionalities by running block and chip level simulations using standard industry simulators and mentoring other engineers. Implement analog and mixed‑signal circuit design (charge pumps, op amps, DACs, ADCs, linear regulators, oscillators, bandgap, LDO, thermometers, page buffers, PDNs, level shifters, IO buffers, RTL, Verilog) to meet specifications, validating design performance and functionalities by running block and chip level simulations using standard industry simulators and mentoring other engineers. Serve as a technical authority across analog/core teams, solving sophisticated technical problems at the intersection of circuit behavior, modeling, simulation methodology, and automation reliability. Develop and productize agentic enablement for circuit design, including AI/LLM‑assisted flows that support environment setup and self‑healing configuration, guided simulation and debug, intelligent corner planning and coverage closure, automated schematic/layout checks and review assistance, documentation synthesis, and verification (analog/mixed‑signal) including reproducible run recipes, golden reference management, and regression gating criteria. Integrate automation with project execution, partnering with circuit designers, firmware, validation, and architecture teams to align tooling with achievement needs and deliver measurable cycle‑time reduction. Collaborate with multi‑functional team members (Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly, Marketing) to ensure automation and environmental choices support manufacturability, testability, reliability, time‑to‑market, and customer happiness.

Qualifications: MS (PhD preferred) in electrical engineering. 8+ years of NAND design relevant proven experience, with proficient knowledge of NAND Flash memory read, program and erase algorithms. Proficiency in analog/mixed‑signal circuit design (page buffers, block selectors, Xdecoder, Ydecoder, bias tables and waveforms, PDNs, level shifters, charge pumps, op amps, DACs, ADCs, linear regulators, oscillators, bandgap, IO buffers, RTL, Verilog). Proficiency in analog/mixed‑signal circuit layout (page buffers, block selectors, Xdecoder, Ydecoder, bias tables and waveforms, PDNs, level shifters, charge pumps, op amps, DACs, ADCs, linear regulators, oscillators, bandgap, IO buffers, RTL, Verilog). Proficient fundamentals in semiconductor and device physics and analog/mixed‑signal circuit design, with an understanding of semiconductor reliability issues including CHC, NBTI, stress, snapback, electro‑migration (EM) and IR analysis. Proficiency in circuit verification and optimization, layout planning, parasitic extraction of the circuits, experience guiding layout. Strong understanding of circuit design verification flows, including block‑level, subsystem‑level, and full‑chip simulations, corner management, PVT/mismatch analysis, and results qualification. Experience with analog and digital simulators such as HSPICE, FastSPICE, and Verilog. Proven proficiency in Python for engineering automation, including development of maintainable scripts, libraries, or frameworks that work with EDA tools for simulation control, data extraction, regression management, or reporting. Proficient with Cadence design, LVS/DRC tools and UNIX.
