The Principal R&D Engineer leads the design and development of innovative solutions. In this role, the Principal R&D Engineer will act as a technical reference, working closely with customers, partners, application engineers and development teams to define and deploy major new flows, methods, and capabilities.
Innovation in semiconductor design and manufacturing enables smaller device architectures with higher performance and energy efficiency for powering the smart product revolution. The physics associated with shrinking geometries, especially in the emerging 3-D IC, FinFET and stacked-die architectures, brings out design challenges related to power and reliability, affecting design closure. ANSYS simulation and modeling tools offer the sign-off accuracy and performance needed to ensure power noise integrity and reliability of even the most complex ICs, considering electromigration, thermal effects and electrostatic discharge phenomena.
