Sr Engineer - SRAM Bit Cell Enablement

GlobalFoundries is a leading full-service semiconductor foundry providing a unique combination of design, development, and fabrication services to some of the world's most inspired technology companies. With a global manufacturing footprint spanning three continents, GlobalFoundries makes possible the technologies and systems that transform industries and give customers the power to shape their markets.

As an engineer for SRAM bit cell enablement, you will support our technology teams across our 22 nm fully depleted SOI and 12 nm finfet technologies. This spans from the layout of bit cell kits and the enablement of these bit cells in the process design kit to the layout and verification of test structures. In addition, you will analyze incoming designs for their bit cell content.

You will be a member of the Global Memory Solutions team with colleagues located in Bangalore, Germany and the United States.

Your Job:

• Bit cell test structure layout and verification.
• Bit cell enablement in the PDK in close cooperation with the PDK team.
• Bit cell kit layout and verification in close cooperation with the technology owners, the Integration teams and OPC.
• Maintenance and improvement of the layout infrastructure for memory bit cells.
• Analysis of incoming designs for their memory content.

Other Responsibilities:

• Once you are competent in the items mentioned above, your responsibility may extend to the following responsibilities:
• Parasitic extraction of bit cell kits and test structures.
• Monte Carlo and high sigma simulations of memory bit cells.
• Definition of model targets for new bit cells in close cooperation with the respective technology owner.
• Definition of targets for electrical parameters and their upper and lower spec limits based on simulations.
• Test program definition
• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
• This job requires close cooperation with global internal teams. In addition, some interaction with customers and IP providers will be part of your job.

Required Qualifications:

• Master's degree in microelectronics, electrical engineering, physics, or related fields from 2025.
• Experience in layout and design with Cadence Virtuoso including use of DRC and LVS verification versus schematics as well as Skill coding.
• Familiar with scripting languages like Pearl, shell script, Python.
• Experience with SPICE simulation.
• Detailed knowledge about semiconductor process flow and technology, preferably for highly scaled technologies down to 22 nm and 12 nm.
• Good understanding of semiconductor device physics, especially MOSFETs.
• Good understanding and experience with SRAM bit cell functionality and characterization.
• Knowledge about other types of volatile memory bit cells.
• Travelling may be required for certain projects but is expected to be less than 10 %.
• Fluency in English Language – written & verbal.
• Very good analytical and presentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with SPICE models and simulations of MOSFETs and SRAM bit cells.
• In-depth understanding of MOSFET SPICE models.
• Basic knowledge in scripting with R.
• Experience with high sigma simulations of SRAM bit cells.
