Join to apply for the
IC Design QA Engineer
role at
Alphawave Semi The Opportunity We're looking for the Wavemakers of tomorrow. Alphawave Semi enables tomorrow’s future by accelerating the critical data communication at the heart of our digital world – from seamless video streaming to AI to the metaverse and much more. Our technology powers product innovation in the most data-demanding industries today, including data centers, networking, storage, artificial intelligence, 5G wireless infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles. Customers partner with us for mission-critical data communication, our innovative technologies, and our proven track record. Together, we enable the next generation of digital technology. What you'll do: Establish and implement quality gates throughout the IC design process, between RTL and PD, to ensure compliance with industry standards and customer requirements. Work collaboratively with groups from architecture, DFT, PD, and design verification to ensure designs are delivered on time and with the highest quality. Continuously monitor and audit IC designs to identify and address potential quality issues, ensuring designs meet specified criteria. Perform analysis of coverage metrics to ensure conformity with design specification and verification plan. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand and incorporate customer requirements into the design quality assurance process. DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis): Perform DFMEA to systematically evaluate potential failure modes in the design phase and ensure robust design solutions. Provide training and support. Maintain comprehensive documentation of quality assurance processes, audit results, and corrective actions. Identify opportunities for process improvements and implement best practices to enhance design quality and efficiency. Participate in establishing/improving CAD and design flow methodologies. Drive design phase end reviews to closure by meeting customer and internal quality and reliability metrics. Assist in evaluating impact of Customer functional ECOs on device meeting requirements. What you'll need: 10+yrs of experience in Semiconductor Industry with MS or PhD in Electrical EE or Physics Knowledge of the ASIC design flow, synthesis, static timing analysis, scripting, and netlist generation. Hands-on experience in STA, PD, and PDV. Exposure to industry standard Timing, Logic Equivalence, Physical Design and Synthesis tools. Knowledge of basic SoC Architecture and HDL languages like Verilog to collaborate with our logic design team for timing fixes and functional ECOs. Experience in design 7nm node and below a plus. Familiarity with DFT and physical design backend related methods and tools. Experience with integration of high-speed interface IPs, such as UCIe, DDR, and HBM a plus. Experience with 2.5D design a plus. Experience with Layout tools a plus A good understanding of basic failure mechanisms Salary And Benefits Your contribution will be recognized with a base salary within the range of $155,000 to $185,000 annually as It is influenced by your qualifications, experience, location, and the internal equity of our team to ensure fairness and consistency across roles.
