Manager CAD Engineering (fmd)

About Operations Engineering Division (OED): OED is the central team that supports all Business Unit Design and Development teams and other organizations including Sales Marketing Business Operations Foundry Operations and Test.  OED provides a platform for managing all process technology and PDK development for both Internal and External Foundry processes. This strong and highly qualified team (mostly MS/PhD) adds strength in developing Test Technology Foundry Operations and Yield management. Our world class contributions lead to aggressive NPI strategies and continual cost and gross margin improvement.

The PDK team: Within OED the PDK team works with internal and external foundries to develop and deploy high quality PDKs on both mature and advanced nodes. This global dynamic and fast-paced team interfaces directly with foundries and EDA tool vendors as well as internally through foundry tech teams packaging teams and design and layout communities to provide highly integrated state of the art PDKs and PDK flows/solutions. The PDK is a core and essential part of all our design flows from concept to tapeout for every project.

The open position: The PDK team is looking for an experienced Staff PDK/CAD Physical Verification (PV) Engineer based out of EU region to enhance the teams support for our business units.  The role includes leading a small team of PV engineers.
