Job description

Rivian is seeking an IC Package Design Engineer to join their ASIC team, focusing on advanced semiconductor packaging solutions for high-performance integrated circuits. The role involves collaboration with cross-functional teams, including IC Design and Mechanical Engineering, to deliver robust packaging from concept to production. The engineer will lead physical layout, modeling, and analysis, ensuring design convergence across various engineering disciplines. This position emphasizes innovation and efficiency in semiconductor packaging design.

Requirements

  • B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in semiconductor package and substrate layout design, particularly for high-speed IC applications.
  • Proven expertise with industry-standard packaging EDA tools such as Cadence Allegro APD/SiP and Synopsys 3DICC.
  • Strong foundational knowledge of electromagnetics, impedance control, and thermal management.
  • Solid understanding of DFM/DFT principles and reliability qualification processes.

Responsibilities

  • Own physical layout execution, including die placement and floor planning.
  • Design and develop advanced IC packaging solutions, including flip-chip BGA and 2.5D/3D IC architectures.
  • Partner closely with silicon and system teams for die/package/PCB co-design.
  • Define and route high-speed interfaces and design robust Power Delivery Networks.
  • Create and validate complex package layouts using industry-standard EDA tools.
  • Run Design Rule Checking and Layout vs. Schematic checks.
  • Generate and validate complete manufacturing collateral for tapeout.
  • Work directly with SI/PI, thermal, and mechanical engineering teams for design convergence.
  • Interface with foundries and substrate vendors to evaluate design feasibility.
  • Assist in lab bring-up, debugging, and silicon validation for packaged devices.
  • Develop and implement scripting tools to automate layout flows.
  • Explore and drive adoption of AI/ML-enabled methodologies to enhance productivity.

Benefits

  • Employees at Rivian are often offered comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company match, ESPP and potential RSU grants, performance bonuses, and generous time off including paid parental and sick leave. Perks can include 24/7 mental-health coaching and therapy, Hinge Health for Anthem enrollees, tuition assistance and professional development, plus on-site food and a wide range of employee discounts on items like computers, mobile phones, home loans, and pet care.
