Broadcom Central Engineering is looking for an engineer to help with the development, installation, and testing of silicon verification decks, primarily Calibre, in support of advanced FINFET, GAA, or high voltage technologies. Strong programming skills in PERL, TCL, SKILL and UNIX shell languages will also be necessary as the individual will be responsible for extending or possibly replacing an existing infrastructure for regression testing, currently written in PERL. Familiarity with circuit extraction and simulation would be helpful to extend regression testing also to cover extraction tool support, primarily StarRC and HSPICE, although QRC and SPECTRE familiarity is also desirable. Candidates must have the legal right to work in the US without visa support.

Development and deployment of Calibre decks for advanced FINFET/GAA/HV nodes.

Definition of tool acceptance and certification criteria in partnership with Broadcom teams, Foundry and EDA vendors to meet high-performance IP design needs.

Definition and development of IP test‑cases and basic test‑structures to validate tools and technology related updates on predictable schedules.

Development of software for automation in Skill, PERL, UNIX shell scripting and tool‑flow integration.

Creation of documentation and hands‑on training for AMS Design & Layout engineers as needed.

Monitoring of EDA industry trends and new capabilities by attending conferences and research forums. Identification of new tools, development of evaluation criteria and processes and then serving as champion for introduction and usage within the Broadcom design community.

Masters in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science plus 10+ years of EDA experience.

User level familiarity with related CAD Tools: Calibre, Virtuoso Layout & Schematics, Quantus QRC/StarRC/QuickCap/Raphael, and simulation using SPECTRE/HSPICE.

Solid background in programming skills, basic layout design, and technology knowledge to help solve layout, physical verification, and post‑layout extraction challenges and problems.

Experience in all phases of CAD tools from evaluation, QA, test, release, and user support to documentation.

Expertise in Cadence Skill, PERL, UNIX Shell and utilities.

Candidates must have the legal right to work in the US without visa support.

This position is also eligible for a discretionary annual bonus in accordance with relevant plan documents, and equity in accordance with equity plan documents and equity award agreements.
