job description
Join Silicontek Sdn Bhd as a Digital IC Design Engineer and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of semiconductor innovation. Based in the vibrant tech hub of Bali, Indonesia, you will lead the design and development of cutting-edge analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for high-performance applications. This is a unique opportunity to work on end-to-end chip development—from specification to production—while collaborating with a dynamic, cross-functional team of engineers.
At Silicontek, we empower our engineers to push the boundaries of IC design, ensuring our solutions meet the highest standards of efficiency, reliability, and performance. If you are passionate about analog circuit design, layout optimization, and solving complex technical challenges, this role offers the perfect platform to advance your career in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
Responsibility
- Define and document detailed chip specifications, including performance metrics, power consumption, and area constraints for analog and mixed-signal modules.
- Design, simulate, and verify high-precision analog circuits (e.g., PLLs, ADCs, DACs, amplifiers) using industry-standard tools like Cadence, Spectre, or HSPICE.
- Collaborate with layout engineers to ensure DFM (Design for Manufacturing) compliance, optimizing for yield, reliability, and parasitic effects.
- Lead pre-silicon validation through rigorous testing and debugging, ensuring first-pass success in fabrication.
- Troubleshoot post-silicon production issues, analyzing failures and implementing corrective actions to enhance product robustness.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive design documentation, including schematics, test reports, and user manuals for internal and external stakeholders.
- Stay abreast of emerging IC design trends (e.g., FinFET, advanced packaging) and integrate innovative techniques into project workflows.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to cross-team knowledge sharing to foster a culture of continuous improvement.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field, with a focus on IC design or semiconductor physics.
- Minimum 5+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design, preferably in CMOS or BiCMOS technologies.
- Proficiency in EDA tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, HSPICE, or Synopsys Custom Designer.
- Strong understanding of layout-dependent effects (LDE), matching techniques, and parasitic extraction (PEX).
- Experience with scripting languages (Python, Perl, or Tcl) for automation and data analysis.
- Familiarity with verification methodologies (e.g., UVM, SystemVerilog) for analog/mixed-signal blocks.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to debug complex circuit-level and system-level issues.
- Strong communication and teamwork abilities, with a track record of collaborating across global teams.
