Product Engineer II EMX

At Cadence we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

Role Overview

Responsible for enabling Foundry PDK teams and Foundry Design Service teams to deliver accurate signoffready onchip electromagnetic (EM) modeling solutions using Cadence EMX. This role focuses on EM extraction technology enablement foundryqualified modeling assumptions and scalable reference flow development for advanced nodes largescale SoCs and complex interconnect structures.

Key Responsibilities Foundry PDK Team Support

• Support foundry PDK teams in development validation and qualification of EMX technology files and EM modeling setups.
• Collaborate with foundries to define EM modeling assumptions for BEOL interconnects vias MIM caps inductors and advanced process features.
• Support foundry requirements on frequencydependent R/L/C extraction mutual coupling and EM accuracy correlation.
• Enable EMX usage for foundrylevel qualification flows supporting SI PI IRdrop and EM signoff needs.
• Work with foundry extraction and modeling teams to ensure consistency between EMX models and downstream signoff tools (Quantus Voltus Tempus).
• Support PDK release readiness by validating EMX modeling settings against silicon data reference designs and correlation targets.

Key Responsibilities Foundry Design Service Team Support

• Develop and maintain EMXbased electromagnetic extraction reference flows for foundry design service teams.
• Support integration of EMX extraction results into digital analog RF and mixedsignal design flows.
• Provide guidance on EM extraction scope selection solver configuration and runtime tradeoffs for production designs.
• Assist design service teams in resolving EMrelated accuracy convergence and performance issues.
• Enable standardized reusable EM modeling methodologies across multiple SoC and derivative design projects.
• Support multidie 3DIC and advanced packaging EM modeling requirements with EMXbased flows.
