Expert EMIR & Power Integrity Lead

As an Expert EMIR & Power Integrity Lead, you will be a core technical contributor ensuring the power robustness and long-term reliability of our high-performance connectivity silicon. You will own from block level to full-chip the Electro-Migration and IR Drop (EMIR) methodology, analysis, and sign-off, working at the intersection of Physical Design, Analog/Mixed-Signal design, and Package Engineering.

You will be responsible for defining power grid architectures and validating that products meet aggressive voltage drop and reliability targets in advanced FinFET process nodes. Your work will directly impact the performance and yield of chips operating in the worlds most demanding AI and cloud environments.

Key Responsibilities

Lead static and dynamic IR drop analysis, signal/power electromigration (EM) verification, and self-heat analysis from block level to full-chip sign-off
Define and implement robust EMIR flows and methodologies using industry-standard tools (Ansys RedHawk-SC, Cadence Voltus, or equivalent)
Collaborate with Physical Design teams to define optimal power grid structures, via pillars, and strap distributions to minimize voltage drop while maximizing routing resources
Work closely with Analog/SerDes designers to analyze current profiles and ensure robust power delivery to sensitive high-speed IP blocks
Partner with Package Design engineers to perform Chip-Package-System (CPS) co-analysis, optimizing bump patterns and package routing for superior Power Integrity
Drive root-cause analysis for voltage drop violations and EM risks; propose and implement layout fixes alongside the PD team
Verify current density rules for ESD protection networks and ensure compliance with foundry reliability constraints
Support silicon bring-up by correlating simulation results with actual silicon measurements and yield data
