Prachodayath Global is currently looking for an experienced Memory Compiler Design, Characterization & Validation Engineer to join our technical team. This role is pivotal for engineers with over 4 years of experience who possess a strong expertise in SRAM, RF, and ROM memories. The successful candidate will be responsible for design, characterization, validation, and collateral generation across advanced technology nodes, ensuring high performance and reliability of memory components.
The position involves performing critical tasks such as SPICE simulations, FSDB debugging, and timing/power characterization. You will execute Vmin analysis, aging simulations, and validation using tools like Nanotime STA and ESPCV. Furthermore, you will analyze trends within Liberty files and perform noise characterization. Scripting in Shell, Python, TCL, or Perl will be required to automate flows and analyze data effectively, contributing to the overall optimization of PPA (Power, Performance, and Area) within memory architectures.
