Senior/ Staff Physical Design Engineer - CAD Extraction

we are establishing a strategic R&D center in Israel to drive the development of complex semiconductor chips that solve the critical 'data bottlenecks' enabling the future of AI at scale. As we expand our presence in Israel, we're seeking a highly skilled Physical Design CAD Engineer specializing in CAD Extraction to join our local engineering powerhouse from the ground up.
This is a unique opportunity to take on meaningful technical ownership in a new site, implementing the parasitic extraction (PEX) methodologies and flows for chips that power the world's largest AI clusters. As a foundational member of the team, you will be responsible for the accuracy and efficiency of our extraction environment, ensuring that our high-speed designs are modeled with the highest precision from RTL to GDSII.
Key Responsibilities
Develop, qualify, and maintain automated RC extraction flows for high-performance AI SoCs
Own the setup and validation of foundry technology files (e.g., StarRC/Quantus techfiles, TLU+, ITF) across various process corners
Perform correlation studies between different extraction tools and 3D field solvers (e.g., Raphael, QuickCap) to ensure modeling accuracy
Collaborate closely with the Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) teams to provide accurate parasitic data for critical high-speed nets and power grids
Implement automated scripts (Tcl/Python) to streamline extraction regressions, data parsing, and PEX-to-STA (Static Timing Analysis) handoffs
Analyze the impact of layout effects (LDE) and parasitics on timing and power, providing feedback to the implementation team to optimize PPA
Interface with EDA vendors and foundries to resolve extraction tool bugs and methodology gaps related to advanced nodes (5nm/3nm).
