About the role
This role involves owning the physical layout of advanced packages for AI accelerator silicon, specifically multi-die 2.5D and 3D packages.
What you'll do
- Own package substrate and interposer layout end to end, including stackup definition, bump and ball map planning, RDL and escape routing, and design release to substrate suppliers and OSATs.
- Own die-to-package-to-board co-design, partnering with physical design on bump placement and floorplan and with PCB layout on the package-board interface.
- Close package DRC/LVS and netlist verification against OSAT and substrate vendor design rules, and drive rule negotiation where the design requires it.
What you'll need
- Experience in advanced package physical layout, including multi-die substrate and interposer routing, high-density escape, power and ground plane design for high-current accelerator rails, and stackup and via structure definition.
- 8+ years of package layout experience on high-performance designs, including 2.5D / 3D and multi-die packages (CoWoS, EMIB, InFO, fan-out, or equivalent interposer technologies).
- Hands-on with industry-standard package layout tools (Cadence Allegro Package Designer / SiP Layout, Siemens Xpedition Package Designer, or equivalent) and package DRC/LVS flows.
- Demonstrated ability to work closely with architecture, physical design, SI/PI, thermo-mechanical, and OSAT partners to converge and sign off complex package designs.
