Sobre este puesto de Sr. Principal Product Engineer en Cadence Design Systems
At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.
This Senior Principal Product Engineer is a technical leader on the Voltus product engineering team, working on Cadence’s power noise and reliability analysis platform. The role sits between strategic customers/foundries, Applications, and R&D, and is accountable for turning the hardest IR/EM, PDN, and electrothermal signoff requirements into product and flow solutions.
Key responsibilities
- Serve as the primary technical interface to R&D for Voltus, driving product requirements, priorities, and methodology for strategic foundry and customer programs.
- Lead Voltus enablement for advanced-node IR/EM signoff: flow/techfile/PDK readiness, reference flows, qualification, benchmarking, and production deployment.
- Own resolution of complex customer issues spanning static/dynamic IR, EM, low-power / multi-voltage domains, hierarchical and full-chip signoff, and related timing/stack-die interactions.
- Define and validate foundry-aligned power integrity and EM modeling assumptions; partner with PDK, extraction, and signoff teams on advanced-node and 3DIC readiness.
- Influence product roadmap (including AI-driven IR mitigation, 3DIC, and electrothermal co-analysis) based on foundry and customer gaps.
- Mentor Lead/Principal PEs and AEs; set debug standards, deployment practices, and issue-tracking discipline for the account/foundry program.
- Work effectively with customers, Cadence field, Marketing, and R&D across geographies; present findings and recommendations to customer and internal leadership.
Minimum qualifications
- Bachelor’s in Electrical / Electronics / VLSI Engineering with 10+ years of related experience, or MS with 8+ years, or PhD with 6+ years.
- Deep hands-on experience with industry-standard IR/EM (EMIR) and PDN analysis tools and digital physical implementation / signoff flows.
- Strong background in CMOS/digital design, power IR-drop analysis, circuit analysis, and low-power / multi-power-domain chip power-integrity signoff.
- Proven ability to separate critical issues from noise, debug large SoC/PDN problems, and close the loop from customer requirement to R&D fix to deployment.
- Scripting in Tcl and Python; strong written, verbal, and presentation skills with customer and executive audiences.
Preferred
- Direct experience with Voltus and adjacent Cadence digital signoff/implementation tools (Integrity, Tempus, Innovus, Quantus/QRC).
- 3DIC / chiplet, electrothermal, and advanced FinFET or GAA node experience.
- Prior technical leadership of PE/AE teams or of a strategic account/foundry program.
