Job Description

Because this role involves a combination of collaborative/in-person and independent work, it will take the form of a hybrid work format, with time split between working onsite and remotely.

Our employees work on the world s most advanced electronics from detecting threats for F-35 pilots to illuminating the night for soldiers. Spanning air, land, sea, and space, we are developing the technology of tomorrow, delivered today. Drawing strength from our differences, we re innovating for the future. And you can, too. We put our customers first exemplified by our mission: We Protect Those Who Protect Us. Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems.

BAE Systems Engineering is looking for an IC CAD/EDA tools engineer to help support our Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuit design team as we develop novel RF and mixed-signal circuits in small geometry CMOS (<45nm) and cutting-edge SiGe BiCMOS processes. These designs are funded through internal and customer R&D efforts and require innovative circuit architectures and active research to meet next-generation performance goals.

Our cutting edge mixed-signal ICs often require high-performance RF/microwave (such as LNAs, mixers, VCOs, baluns, vector modulators) and mixed-signal (ADCs, DACs, Fractional-N PLLs) circuit designs that rely heavily on simulations and verification to meet stringent defense performance requirements in a secure enterprise environment. As such, the candidate is expected to work closely with IT and across disciplines with digital and analog designers in a dynamic tools environment. The candidate should also have considerable expertise in the Linux environment, IC CAD tools, PDKs, and semiconductor foundry capability.

Responsibilities include:

• Develop flows, alongside designers and EDA tools vendors, that support analog, digital, mixed-signal, and EM simulations, schematic and layout entry, design analysis, and verification.

• Work with EDA vendors to integrate AI/ML algorithms into EDA tool flows

• Write scripts and utilities to standardize and streamline design flows for improved design quality and efficiency

• Maintain PDK technology files and verification decks.

• Lead the IP reuse effort within the Microelectronics organization

• Work with IT teams to move compute into scalable cloud-based platforms

Please note that pursuant to a government contract, this specific position requires US citizenship status

Required Education, Experience, & Skills

• BSEE required in CS, EE, or CompE fields.

• Proficiency in programming including Python, Perl, Skill, C, C

• Proficiency with Linux shell environment, Linux systems administration, cloud computing

• Understanding of analog/digital/mixed-signal design and technologies

• Understanding of AI/ML concepts and how they can be applied to analog and digital design

• Familiarity with EDA tools: Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre; Keysight ADS and SOS; Synopsys DesignCompiler and ICC2; Siemens Calibre and Questa; Matlab

• Sharp troubleshooting skills with the demonstrated ability to debug and resolve complex hardware and software problems and communicate solutions

• Strong analytical, organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills

• Highly responsive and detailed oriented

• Proactive mindset that seeks to understand both present and future team needs

• Excellent documentation and follow-up skills

Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills

• MSEE desired with 5-10 years relevant experience

• Software development experience

• Proficiency in Verilog and VHDL

• IC design and/or EM simulation experience

• PDK develpment experience

• Experience in advanced BiCMOS or CMOS technologies
