Senior ESD & Cryogenic Analog IC Design Engineer

Job Description

Design and develop robust ESD protection architectures for advanced CMOS, BiCMOS, and mixed-signal ICs. Create and optimize: Input/output ESD protection circuits Power clamp structures Rail-based ESD networks CDM, HBM, and MM protection solutions Perform ESD device simulation and characterization using TCAD, SPICE, and reliability modeling tools. Conduct ESD qualification and validation testing including: Human Body Model (HBM) Charged Device Model (CDM) Transmission Line Pulse (TLP) Very Fast TLP (VF-TLP) Analyze failure mechanisms and root causes related to ESD events and electrical overstress (EOS). Develop protection strategies for sensitive analog, RF, mixed-signal, and quantum-control circuits. Evaluate ESD device behavior across process, voltage, temperature, and reliability corners. Partner closely with layout engineers to ensure ESD compliance and proper current-discharge paths. Support silicon debug, failure analysis, and reliability investigations.
