The posting
About the role In this role you will be part of the Nexperia Business Group (BG) IC Solutions Logic development team, you will take ownership of the implementation of the technical requirements of products in logic families and switch families. You are expected to understand CMOS, IC design and analog IC design tools (Cadence or Synopsys).
What you will do
Your mission is to develop and release products, which are combinations of integrated circuits and plastic packages, produced and tested at high volumes at the lowest possible cost. These products meet all datasheet specifications, customer requirements, industry standards and quality requirements.
During the study, concept, design, validation and qualification phase of each project, you will contribute to a cross-functional team of design engineering, product engineering, test engineering and product quality engineer. You will drive chip design, specifications setting and verification while having the ownership of the top-level layout fit for all required packages.
As design engineer, you will make your key contributions to the design of cost-effective products by applying the most efficient way for the implementation of a set of designs within a logic family. You will develop master designs that can be configured into multiple derivative functions, sharing pin functionality and packages. You will implement customer requirements and make sure the product will meet datasheet values. You will do full top-level verification and specification setting agreement with the product manager.
Besides this you will work on:
- Design integrated circuits in 0.5um to 0.18um feature size CMOS and BCD wafer processes.
- Develop the products in a wide range of plastic packages.
- Design circuits with existing circuit techniques and optimize for area.
- Design, optimization and simulations on block level and top level of the IC using Synopsys/Cadence tools.
- Achieve First Time Right designs.
- Top-level functional simulations, full statistical verification of building blocks and datasheet parameters.
- Floor-planning, layout of blocks and top-level layout and wiring diagram creation.
What you will need
- Master’s degree in electrical engineering
- Entry level experienced in circuit design and analog EDA tools and simulations techniques.
- Understanding of semiconductor device physics and device characteristics.
- Understanding of standard CMOS technology.
- Basic knowledge of ESD mechanisms and protection.
- Possesses Analytical Skills and ability to apply pragmatic approaches.
- Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
- Team player and target driven, shows initiative, has an entrepreneurial attitude and works independently.
Why work for us?
- Flexible working hours and possibility of overtime reduction to maintain a Work-Life-Balance.
- Permanent employment contract with a competitive salary and supplementary voluntary employee benefits.
- Attractive Bonus.
- A wide variety of training courses and career development options.
- Numerous further benefits, such as retirement provisions, travel allowance, company events, sports and leisure activities, employee discounts and even more.
About the team
You will come to work in a larger team of IC Design Engineers and ESD experts as your direct colleagues, all closely working together in the Nijmegen location of Nexperia. The team is divided into three products groups, which are Standard Logic and Switches, Voltage Translators and I2C controlled GPIO and Switches and eFuse power switches.
The focus of your job will be Logic and Switch families. For your role you will have highly advanced design tools at your disposal to perform design and simulations yourself.
The design and layout of circuits are done with tools of world leading EDA vendors. The design groups work closely together with the Front End and Back End technology teams in Nijmegen for the development of integrated circuits and packages.
