Job Title Senior Physical Design AI/ML Engineer, Logic Pathfinding Lab

What You'll Do

We are looking for physical design engineers who have demonstrated skills in applying AI / Machine Learning tools in improving design simulation accuracy and throughput in predicting design performance, power, and area (PPA). Experience in optimization of design-technology co-optimization (DTCO) knobs in advanced logic nodes (2nm or beyond) is preferred.

The candidate will be a key technical member of the Logic Pathfinding Lab, part of the Samsung Semiconductor Inc (SSI) in San Jose. He or she will join a team of experts in researching and evaluating advanced technology options, and assisting in knowledge / technology transfer to the Samsung Logic Technology Development (TD) in Korea. The successful candidate will be responsible for researching and evaluating new device architectures, materials, and integration schemes through chip design metrics to meet the need of sub-2nm technology nodes. The candidate should have demonstrated skills and experience in standard cell architecture creation, logic cell library characterizations Place and Route, Process Design Kit (PDK) generation, and a strong understanding of Logic process integration. The candidate should have excellent communication skills, and be able to collaborate with and guide multiple organizations, including research consortia.

Location: Daily onsite presence at our San Jose office/headquarters in alignment with our Flexible Work policy
