MTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER  

• About the Role We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Member of Technical Staff (MTS) to join our Speedfiles team. In this role, you will drive silicon characterization across complex, high‑performance SoC/IP blocks, working closely with physical design, RTL, methodology, and architecture teams. The ideal candidate has strong hands-on FPGA design creation and silicon characterization at different nodes, a deep understanding of semiconductor timing fundamentals, and a passion for delivering high-quality results.   Key Responsibilities  
  • Identify and create FPGA patterns for IP silicon characterization 
  • Perform silicon characterization for different modes of IPs, debug, and resolve timing related issues
  • Correlate speedfile data against post‑silicon characterization results across voltage, temperature, and process corners.
  • Assist in root‑cause analysis for mismatches between silicon behavior and timing models.
  • Validate fixes and improvements through regression, QA, and release validation cycles.
  • Work closely with Quality, IP, and software teams.
  • Silicon data collection across different PVT and to debug issues related to silicon data collection
  • Debug and resolve complex issues involving correctness of pattern, clock skew, margins, voltage and temperature
  • Participate in design reviews, debug discussions, and release readiness assessments.
  • Document and present silicon characterization status, risks, and strategies to cross‑functional teams and management
    Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, VLSI, or related fields.
  • 7–10 years of hands-on experience in digital hardware designing using Verilog on large AMD(Xilinx)/altera FPGAs.
  • Strong understanding of FPGA architecture (fabric, routing, clocking, IOs).
  • Solid foundations in digital design, timing analysis, and STA concepts.
  • Hands‑on experience with FPGA tools (Vivado or equivalent).
  • Experience with simulation‑based characterization and data analysis.
  • Strong debugging skills across models, scripts, and timing data.
  • Direct experience working on silicon characterization.
  • Knowledge of PVT variation, speed grades, binning, and guard banding concepts
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across geographically distributed teams
    Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with post‑silicon correlation
  • Experience working in large, multi‑device production environments.
  • Strong scripting skills in Python, Perl, or Shell scripting.
  • Ability to work independently and drive tasks across ambiguous problem spaces.
  • Excellent analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate in a multi-site environment.
• #LI-SR4
