The Silicon Debug Engineer role focuses on investigating and root-cause failures in advanced custom digital megacells used in high-performance, low-power SoCs. The team works at the intersection of circuit theory, device physics, and hands-on failure investigation to ensure the quality and reliability of ASICs. Engineers will bridge the gap between electrical debug and physical failure analysis, collaborating with various teams to impact product ramp efforts. This position requires a deep understanding of silicon investigation techniques and the ability to analyze complex failures.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Experience in SRAM circuits, custom circuit design, or silicon debug.
• Deep understanding of deep-submicron device physics and leakage mechanisms.
• Solid understanding of device matching and noise sources impacting high-precision circuits.
• Familiarity with electrical and physical failure analysis techniques.
• Knowledge of Dynamic Lock-in Thermography and its applications.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or Perl.

• Investigate and root-cause failures in advanced custom digital megacells.
• Bridge the gap between electrical debug and physical failure analysis.
• Collaborate with circuit design, process engineering, and failure analysis teams.
• Plan failure analysis strategies based on electrical debug data.
• Conduct structured experiments during silicon debug and analyze large datasets.
• Utilize scripting to support efficient handling of debug data.
