Job Title: PDK Development Engineer

Minimum requirements: 6 Years Experience

Location: Bangalore, India

Job Description:

As part of the Engineering Enablement organization at ADI, this senior-level CAD engineer will work on developing and testing of the QA framework used in the validation of Process design kits (PDK) for internal and external semiconductor process technologies used in the design and manufacturing of analog, mixed signal, power management and DSP products in ADI. As an individual contributor, you will be expected to possess the necessary programming skills and circuit design knowledge to develop, support, enhance and test the PDK QA flow used at ADI. The PDK QA functions involve checking of the PDK deliverables such as schematic symbols, layout p-cells, CDFs, DRC/LVS decks, technology files used in Parasitic extraction, ESD verification and other reliability-based flows for quality issues prior to the release of a PDK. You will also develop process design kits (PDKs) for internal and external process technologies in support of Analog, RF, Mixed-Signal, and Digital design flows using Cadence, Mentor, Keysight and internally developed CAD software.

Primary responsibilities:

• Develop device level layout generators (PCELLs)

• Develop physical verification (DRC/LVS) rules and parasitic extraction flows

• Closely work with developers of front-end and back-end components of PDK to create/enhance test cases to actively improve QA coverage.
