Summary:
A premier chip and silicon IP provider making data faster and safer, is looking for a Packaging Design Engineer to join our Package Engineering team. This full-time role offers the opportunity to work on advanced packaging solutions with a world-class engineering team.
You ll lead chip-package co-design and manage layout development from concept through tape-out, focusing on yield, reliability, and manufacturability. Responsibilities include defining bump and ball maps, designing various package types (FCCSP, FCBGA, FCQFN, WLCSP, QFN), and working closely with cross-functional teams including Chip Design and SI/PI. This role also involves collaboration with OSATs and suppliers on design reviews, supporting simulation model creation, and driving continuous improvement in package design workflows and standards.
Responsibilities:
- Drive early chip-package co-design and development of bump and ball map.
- Own layout of package types such as FCCSP, FCBGA, FCQFN, WLCSP, QFN.
- Collaborate with multiple cross-functional teams (Chip Design, SI/PI, Packaging)
- Analyze cost/performance/reliability trade-offs to complete layout of new products and test chips.
- Interact with OSAT partners and substrate/leadframe suppliers for design reviews and execution.
- Continuous improvement of package design workflow and unified package design guidelines.
- Assist with model creation for thermo-mechanical package simulations.
Requirements:
- Proficiency with Cadence Allegro Package Designer (APD) and AutoCAD.
- Minimum 4+ years of experience in packaging design and layout, preferably in an advanced silicon node.
- Proven track record with multiple packaging types where products have gone to volume production.
- Experience routing high-speed, high pin count devices and understanding of signal and power integrity fundamentals.
- Knowledge of organic laminate substrate technologies and manufacturing capabilities.
- Awareness of JEDEC standards and other specifications that may govern package design.
- Understanding of package material properties related to high-volume production and reliability: temperature cycling, HAST, shock, vibration, thermal resistance, outgassing, etc.
- Experience engaging with suppliers and OSAT factories to conduct manufacturing feasibility studies and ensure design readiness for production.
- Excellent communication, initiative, multi-tasking, and time management.
- Strong commitment and ability to work in cross functional and globally dispersed teams.
