Package Design Engineer

In this role, you will have the opportunity to engage in all stages of a package design from architecture to feasibility studies to production. At the architectural stage, you will work with cross-functional teams to convey limitations and collect requirements. You will learn about the architectural aspects of our products very early. At the feasibility stage, you will work on fast iterations of different design concepts and will interact with stakeholders from silicon to system engineering.  This is an opportunity to learn about all aspects of product design and market placement. At the production stage, you will work with design services and OSATs to drive the production design and DFM. This allows you to learn about manufacturing and production requirements.

This role is hybrid, based out of Taipei, Taiwan, Toronto, Canada or Austin, Texas.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.

• Drive routing feasibility studies on organic substrate and 2.5D interposers
• Evaluate silicon floorplan and IP bump map proposals and provide feedback
• Work with cross-functional teams and collect input to define package ball-out map
• Work closely with Power and Signal Integrity engineers to come up with optimized solutions
• Design daisy chain packages for testing and qualification
• Work with external design services to convert feasibility studies to production design and DFM

Experience & Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of experience as a package layout engineer (focusing on flip chip BGA packages) and "some" of the items below
• Proficient in Cadence Allegro
• Routing high-speed signals (GDDR, LPDDR, SERDES)
• Die-to-die protocols (BoW, UCIe, …)
• Design for high-power chips (300+ W)
• MCM and/or chiplet-based modules
• Advanced 2.5D and 3D packages (RDL/interposer) is an asset
• Familiar with packaging technology and manufacturing processes
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
