Essential Responsibilities include:

• Develop state-of-the art Foundry Reference Designs for applications such as Touch Screen Controller, High Performance ADC/DAC, Display Drivers, ROIC, etc. These will form the basis for Analog circuit, block and subsystem level designs for emerging analog and power applications.

• Design, implement and tape-out relevant Foundry Reference design prototypes on internal test chips and MPWs that will highlight the unique features and capabilities of GLOBALFOUNDRIES technologies such as FDX and FinFET.

• You will do physical design of critical elements of circuitry, and/or work with physical design engineers to complete the physical design.

• Perform/direct electrical verification and modifications to meet specifications.

• Characterize initial silicon and/or work with test engineers to demonstrate achievement of critical performance requirements.

• Analyze characterization data and document results for sharing.

• Collaborate with innovators at research institutions and universities to push the performance envelope in related fields and future applications of the GF differentiated technology.

Other Responsibilities:

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.

Required Qualifications:

• Education – Graduating with Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field from an accredited degree program.

• Must have at least an overall 3.0 GPA and proven good academic standing.

• Design experience of Analog/Mixed-Signal circuits using FinFet/FDSOI IC design technologies.

• Prior experience with one or more CAD tools and frameworks such as Keysight and Cadence.

• Prior experience with one or more electromigration simulation tools such as Voltus etc.

• Language Fluency - English (Written & Verbal)

• Travel - Up to 10%

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior related internship or co-op experience.

• Demonstrated prior leadership experience in the workplace, school projects, competitions, etc.
