Reliability Analysis Engineer

Your main responsibilities will include the following, depending on project needs and customer requirements:

• Perform electromigration analysis on IC and power-device layouts.
• Evaluate current-density limits and identify reliability risks in metal interconnects.
• Analyze stress-induced voiding and metal migration under operating conditions.
• Identify design weaknesses and recommend improvements to design teams.
• Develop flows and methodologies for power, electromigration, and current-density analysis.
• Assess the electrothermal reliability of interconnects and devices.
• Carry out parasitic-aware design verification and physical validation.
• Define and validate design rules related to electromigration reliability.
• Work closely with design, layout, and technology teams to improve robustness.
• Prepare technical reports that document design risks and mitigation strategies.
• Support failure analysis and reliability qualification activities.
• Develop AI/ML-based approaches to verify and analyze new RF/analog designs for improved performance.

You may also contribute to the following areas:

• Develop and improve flows and methodologies for electromagnetic radiated-emission simulation.
• Build and maintain broad knowledge of technical developments in the field.
• Support the NXP design community in the use of EM simulation tools.
• Apply findings to improve future RF designs, including radar, 5G/6G, and radio solutions.

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or equivalent expertise in design verification, electromigration, and AI/ML engineering.
• Industry experience in analog and RF domains, including IC, package, and PCB design, is an advantage.
• Experience with power-integrity evaluation, current-density analysis, and current-distribution analysis using commercial tools.
• Knowledge of the Cadence Virtuoso OA design environment is strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with analog and RF IC, package, PCB, and antenna design processes.
• Programming knowledge in languages such as Skill, Python, and Perl is a plus.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team.
• Proficiency in written and spoken technical English.
