Job Summary

The Role: As a Substrate Design Engineer, you will be at the heart of our hardware development cycle. You will own the physical design and layout of IC packaging substrates, working cross-functionally with silicon designers, system architects, SI/PI engineers, and manufacturing partners (OSATs) to deliver high-performance, cost-effective packaging solutions. What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities): ● Lead the end-to-end design and layout of advanced packaging substrates, including FCBGA, WLCSP, SiP, and 2.5D/3D advanced packages. ● Conduct package feasibility studies, bump/ball map assignments, layer count estimations, and routing evaluations. ● Perform Design Rule Checks (DRC) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) verification to ensure high yield and reliability. ● Collaborate closely with Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) teams to optimize layout for high-speed signals, thermal performance, and power delivery. ● Work directly with substrate suppliers and OSATs to align on manufacturing capabilities, design rules, and seamless tape-out execution. ● Maintain and develop library components, design constraints, and methodologies to streamline the design process. What We’re Looking For (Qualifications): ● Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field. ● Experience: [3+] years of hands-on experience in IC package / substrate design. ● Tools: High proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence APD/SIP/Allegro, Siemens/Mentor Xpedition, or Zuken CR-8000. ● Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of substrate manufacturing processes, design rules, and materials. ● Cross-Domain Awareness: Strong foundational knowledge of electrical engineering principles (impedance control, crosstalk, power delivery networks). ● Communication: Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with global cross-functional teams. Preferred Skills: ● Experience with high-speed interface routing (PCIe Gen 5/6, 112G SerDes, DDR5, HBM). ● Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, SKILL, Tcl, Perl) for design automation and workflow optimization.
