CAD engineer (W/M)
Join us!
In a context where connected objects demand more and more performance, more and more autonomy, and where data exchanges are exploding, the need for simplicity in power consumption becomes crucial. Our technologies reconcile the need for more performance, more simplicity but also more sustainability. Dolphin Design's ambition is to reconcile technological developments with the preservation of our planet's resources.
To support the growth of our business, we are looking for a CAD engineer (W/M), based in Meylan (38).
As a Computer Aided Design Engineer, you will provide IC designers with the best solutions and support to drive innovation, improve efficiency and ensure high product quality.
Your main tasks will be to :
- Develop in different languages (Python, Skill and Shell), scripts (flows) dedicated to the design of analogue and mixed circuits, based on EDA software (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens)
- Supporting the analogue design teams in their use of the provided flows, EDA software and PDKs (Process Design Kits).
Moreover :
- You will propose improvements to design flows in order to improve productivity and product quality.
- You will carry out technological monitoring (studies and benchmarks) on EDA software and new methodologies.
- You will also participate in the writing of application notes, provide training and demonstrations to analogue IC designers.
- You will be in contact (mainly by email), with our suppliers of EDA software (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens) and PDKs (TSMC, Samsung, Global Foundries, etc...).
You're about to become a dolphin..
You have an engineering degree, master degree (5 years of higher education) in electrical engineering, computer engineering, electronics or in an equivalent field.
You have more than 5 years of experience in analog IC-design flow (mixed signal is a plus).
For this position, your strong team spirit will be your greatest asset. You have good communication and a good sense of support and an internal customer relationship.
